Two officers from Lincolnshire Police are due to appear before misconduct hearings after allegations of inappropriate behaviour while on duty. The cases, which involve separate incidents, have sparked scrutiny over professional conduct within the force.
The first officer is accused of engaging in unprofessional behaviour during an interaction with a member of the public, while the second faces allegations of failing to uphold expected standards while performing their duties. Both incidents were reported internally and subsequently investigated.
Lincolnshire Police confirmed the hearings in a statement, emphasising their commitment to maintaining high standards of professionalism. "We take all allegations of misconduct seriously and ensure thorough investigations are carried out," a spokesperson said.
If found guilty, the officers could face disciplinary action, ranging from formal warnings to dismissal. The hearings come amid ongoing public scrutiny of police conduct across the UK.
Local residents have expressed mixed reactions, with some calling for greater accountability and others voicing support for officers working under challenging conditions.
