The Northamptonshire Police officer has been given a final written warning
A Northamptonshire Police officer who failed to rebuke his partner for using racist language and sent her the email address of a member of the public has been given a final written warning. A panel was told PC Steve Scott, who has worked as an officer for 18 years, had 'implicitly validated' racial abuse with his behaviour.
In January 2022, he took a screenshot of a computer screen while at work with his personal phone and sent it to his partner on WhatsApp. It included the email address of a member of the public.Chief Constable Nick Adderley concluded Pc Scott was not racist himself but that his conduct on both occasions was “stupid and ill-thought through” and was a “sad indictment” of his decision-making. Pc Scott accepted both instances amounted to misconduct but not gross misconduct.
Fiona Brooks, for the force, said PC Scott’s reaction to his partner’s language - which is too offensive to share - “represented an approval of racist abuse” and that members of the public would be “appalled” to learn of the conversation.
