A police officer has been dismissed from duty after sharing controversial photos of himself with his teenage girlfriend while still in uniform. The images, which surfaced online, showed the officer in an intimate embrace with the much younger woman, raising serious concerns about professional conduct.
The officer, whose identity has not been disclosed, reportedly bragged about the relationship on social media, further fuelling public backlash. Internal investigations were swiftly launched, leading to his termination for breaching professional standards.
Key details:
- The officer was photographed in uniform with his girlfriend, who is significantly younger.
- Social media posts allegedly included inappropriate captions about their relationship.
- The police force confirmed his dismissal following a misconduct hearing.
A spokesperson for the police department stated: "Such behaviour undermines public trust and is entirely unacceptable for those in positions of authority."
The case has reignited debates about ethical standards within law enforcement and the misuse of social media by public officials.
