A police officer who was convicted of harassment without violence has been dismissed without notice following an accelerated misconduct hearing.
Lewis P, 25, who worked in Tamworth and also owns a big Rockstar Games fan-related website known as Rockstar Universe was investigated after he harassed a colleague by bombarding her with messages and calls in August 2022 following a brief relationship. He was suspended the same month.
Lewis was found guilty of harassment without violence at Stafford Crown Court on 16 November. He was given a six-month restraining order and a £2,350 fine by the court. The accelerated misconduct hearing, which was held on Wednesday 13 December, found that he had breached police standards of authority, respect and courtesy, and discreditable conduct.
His actions were assessed by the panel, chaired by Chief Constable Chris Noble, and considered so serious as to constitute gross misconduct. Palin will now be placed on the National College of Policing’s Barred List preventing him from working within policing and other law enforcement bodies.
“There is no place for harassment in Staffordshire Police and we take reports such as this extremely seriously. It is unacceptable for a police officer, who is responsible for enforcing the law, to break the law themselves. The vast majority of our officers and staff are honest, hardworking, and act with integrity. However, when misconduct is found, we will take action. We encourage anyone who has any concerns about the behavior of an officer or staff member they have come into contact with, to please report it to us.”
Deputy Chief Constable Jon Roy
