Shropshire police officer dismissed

A police officer has been dismissed after he assault two other officers while off-duty.

An accelerated misconduct hearing for PC Kiaran Wain was held on Thursday.

The hearing, chaired by Chief Constable Pippa Mills, heard that PC Wain assaulted two police officers whilst he was off-duty in Shrewsbury on Thursday 13 October 2022.

On Friday 14 October he received a police caution for the assault on the two officers.

The hearing found that PC Wain breached the standard of professional behaviour for discreditable conduct.

It was found that his behaviour amounted to gross misconduct and ruled that he be dismissed without notice.

Chief Constable Pippa Mills, said: "We will not tolerate anyone assaulting our officers, not least an off-duty officer who fully understands the challenges of the role and the difficulties that officers face on a daily basis.  

“We expect the highest standards of our officers both on and off duty and take any breach of these standards very seriously.

“PC Wain let himself, his colleagues, the force and our communities down with his actions.”

PC Wain will now be placed on the College of Policing Barred List and will not be employable within a UK Police Service.
