Two PSNI officers are dismissed following allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards female colleagues, according to multiple reports. Belfast Telegraph and Irish Mirror state that one incident involved an officer touching a female colleague’s buttocks, while other reporting describes the conduct more generally as “abhorrent” and directed at women in the workplace. BreakingNews.ie reports that Chief Constable Jon Boutcher oversees special case hearings in the cases, indicating the dismissals follow formal proceedings rather than immediate administrative action. Irish Mirror adds that, in one matter, the officer has already been convicted of two counts of sexual assault against a female colleague, and the dismissal follows that outcome. The reports collectively describe the officers’ removal from the service as a disciplinary result tied to sexual misconduct and workplace abuse allegations. Further details of the incidents, including timing and the full findings at the hearings, are not provided in the excerpts, but all accounts agree the dismissals are linked to conduct towards female colleagues and that the cases are handled through PSNI’s special case process under the Chief Constable.
