Allegations regarding inappropriate relationships and unauthorised Police database searches not upheld

23 June 2025

The Authority oversaw an investigation into a Police employee’s actions after concerns were raised from a variety of sources.

The initial investigation found that none of the allegations about the employee’s associations and activities were substantiated. However, concerns remained about potentially unauthorised Police database searches.

The employee was interviewed and provided satisfactory explanations.

Police found the allegations were unproven. The Authority agrees with this finding.
