Police officer bought cocaine outside pub while looking after three-year-old daughter
A police officer was caught buying cocaine outside a pub, while looking after his three-year-old daughter.
PC Jonathan Brown was arrested after being spotted buying the Class A drug outside the Charnley Arms pub in Standish in August. Brown was seen buying the drug through the window of a Mercedes. After being arrested, Brown, who was then working for Merseyside Police, admitted that he had been using cocaine for some time. The 31-year-old was later charged with possession of a Class A drug.Brown quit his job in disgrace but a misconduct hearing was held by Merseyside Police and concluded that he would have been sacked. Chief Constable Serena Kennedy said the offence was so serious that no other option could be considered acceptable.
CC Kennedy said that support is available to officers who have addiction problems but that no help was sough on this occasion. Explaining the decision, she said: "It is also shocking that former Constable BROWN bought the drugs whilst looking after his 3-year-old daughter. As Chief Constable I have also been very clear that this type of criminal behaviour will not be tolerated, and this is at time when policing is under the spotlight nationally for its behaviour.
"This officer’s actions could have had a severe impact on the trust and confidence of our communities in policing both nationally and policing locally for our communities here in Merseyside. Hopefully, the fact this matter has been treated so seriously by Merseyside Police will mean that our communities recognise just how seriously I and Merseyside Police value the importance of honesty and integrity.
