**Thornaby, UK** – A Cleveland Police officer, identified only as PC Cox, is facing disciplinary action for allegedly failing to protect a vulnerable victim of domestic abuse. The officer is accused of breaching the standards of professional behavior in terms of honesty and integrity, duties and responsibilities, and discreditable conduct.
The two-day hearing, scheduled for September 25th and 26th at Scotswood House in Thornaby, will be presided over by a legally qualified chairman. The public can attend the hearing by registering on the Cleveland Police website.
If found guilty of gross misconduct, PC Cox could be dismissed from the force without notice and added to the College of Policing barred list, preventing them from working for any police force in the UK.
