Former Warwickshire special constable found to have breached standards of professional behaviour
Kirk Allsopp resigned from the force.
A former special constable has been told he would have been dismissed for gross misconduct had he not previously resigned from the force.
Kirk Allsopp had been with Warwickshire Police for 18 months and was most recently based in the south of the county.
The misconduct centred around him accessing police systems for a non-policing purpose.
A hearing took place on 5 February and was chaired by Assistant Chief Constable Claire Armes.
The 46-year-old will now be placed on the College of Policing’s barred list.
Detective Superintendent Paul Thompson, Head of Warwickshire Police Professional Standards, said: “As police officers and staff we have access to a lot of sensitive information and it is important we use this appropriately and with the utmost integrity.
"This is why we carry out regular checks to ensure that officers and staff are accessing information have a legitimate policing purpose for doing so and take action where we see breaches of expected standards of professional behaviour”.
