PC shared footage of dead man with girlfriend
- Published
A North Wales Police officer who showed bodycam footage of a dead man to a colleague who was also his girlfriend while off duty would have been sacked if he had not quit the force.
A misconduct hearing was told that PC Matthew Roberts showed other bodycam footage to the Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) with whom he was in a relationship at the time.
The footage included the arrest of a man who claimed the former police officer "had aggravated or caused him a broken wrist" and the "forced removal of a female from private premises".
The tribunal heard that the former officer also shared images of a baby whose mother had been arrested.
The panel ruled that he abused his position and failed to treat the public with respect, breaching the standards of professional behaviour.
A of the case said the former officer had admitted his "behaviour collectively amounts to gross misconduct" and that he had resigned his position earlier this year.
