A junior police officer suspended over an alleged relationship with her married commanding officer is now facing a fresh investigation into an affair with a drug kingpin. PC Caitlin Howarth, 21 at the time, was suspended from West Yorkshire Police in November 2021 after accusations of an affair with Chief Superintendent Daniel Greenwood.
Chief Supt Greenwood, also married, was suspended pending an investigation by the force's Professional Standards Directorate. The alleged relationship came to light after anti-corruption officers probed her links with a drug lord, according to The Sun.
PC Howarth was a probationary officer at the time, a two-year requirement for all new recruits. She remains suspended while the investigation continues. The drug boss is reportedly in jail for heroin supply.
Chief Constable John Robins will have the final say on any action against both officers. Howarth, who lives with her mother in Bingley, West Yorkshire, has over 10,000 online followers. A police spokeswoman declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation.
