MPA reinstates ACPO rank officer
50/03
04 July 2003
On 2 June 2003 an ACPO rank officer was suspended by the Metropolitan Police Authority following receipt of allegations of misconduct. An Investigating Officer was appointed from an outside police force to investigate the allegations.
Today, in accordance with its policy of regularly reviewing suspensions, the Authority considered an Interim Report by the Investigating Officer. In light of emerging information, it has been decided that the investigation into the allegations should continue but that the senior officer concerned should be reinstated.
The matter will continue to be subject to regular reviews.
