Lincolnshire Police have dismissed an officer, after he breached the Standards of Professional Behavior.

Former PC Frazer Green conducted checks on police systems for a non-policing purpose and attended the address of his partner despite being directed not to do so by his supervisor.

The breach amounted to gross misconduct.

His name will be placed on the College of Policing barred list.

Chief Constable Bill Skelly, said: “The ethical values of Lincolnshire Police are Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Dedication and Empathy. It is vital that members of the Force understand these values from the outset.

“Anyone who comes into contact with the police, whether that’s as a victim of crime or as an offender, has a reasonable expectation of privacy and that their information is only used for a policing purpose. That was not the case and what former PC Green did here was an abuse of the privileged position he had held.

“The public should also expect that the officers who serve them are using their time to protect communities and that they always act with honesty and integrity. Again, the evidence in this case showed differently and the high standards which are expected of a Lincolnshire Police officer were not upheld by this individual.”

There is a right of appeal to a Police Appeals Tribunal.
