Former Police Officer Filmed in Sexual Acts During Duty Shifts
Damning video evidence has revealed a disgraced former police officer engaging in sexual acts while on active duty. PC Usman Ahmed, previously of Greater Manchester Police, was captured on camera committing what authorities have described as deliberate and repeated misconduct during his shifts.
Gross Misconduct Findings After Resignation
The former officer resigned from the force just before his misconduct hearing on February 6, 2026. Despite his resignation, Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson conducted a thorough review of the evidence and determined that Ahmed had committed gross misconduct that would have resulted in immediate dismissal had he remained in service.
Three separate video recordings from between January 15 and June 2025 showed the officer engaging in consensual sexual acts while on duty. The incidents occurred both inside a police vehicle and on one occasion within a police station building.
Chief Constable's Damning Assessment
Sir Stephen Watson delivered a scathing assessment of the former officer's behavior, stating the evidence revealed incontrovertible proof of willful misconduct. "His conduct was persistent, repeated and occurred over a protracted period," the chief constable noted in official documents.
The police leader emphasized that Ahmed "knew or ought to have known that his conduct was reprehensible, professionally indefensible and contrary to the standards and values of the force."
Multiple Breaches of Professional Standards
The investigation revealed several critical violations:
- Engaging in sexual acts while on active duty
- Using police property including vehicles for inappropriate conduct
- Failing to maintain professional standards expected of officers
- Damaging public trust in law enforcement
Sir Stephen highlighted the cumulative impact of such cases, noting they "continue to cause widespread concern as to the standards of conduct amongst police officers more generally."
Complete Lack of Mitigation or Remorse
Perhaps most damning was the former officer's complete failure to engage with the proceedings or show any remorse. "He has failed to express any form of apology to the public and his colleagues," Sir Stephen stated, adding that this broader failure to participate in the disciplinary process "does Mr Ahmed no credit at all."
The chief constable found no mitigating circumstances whatsoever, describing the behavior as demonstrating "a lack of the moral fibre, professionalism and personal discipline required to retain the office of constable."
Formal Consequences and Barring
As a result of the findings, Ahmed's name will be added to the College of Policing's Barred List, preventing him from future employment in law enforcement. Sir Stephen concluded unequivocally that "the maintenance of public confidence is likely incompatible with retaining the services of Mr Ahmed in any capacity."
The case represents another significant challenge for police forces working to rebuild public trust amid ongoing concerns about officer conduct and professional standards.
