“They are a disgrace to the police force but more importantly a disgrace to humanity”
When PC Cameron Hanson went to the home of James O'Hara in October 2021 he was met with a sorry sight.
It didn't end there. Kirstie, a civilian member of staff at Darwen Police Station, asked her colleague Charlotte Riley if she wanted to see video of a murder.But Kirstie, 33, seemed unable to heed her own advice and two days later showed the video to two other police colleagues who reported what they had seen to their superiors.
During the investigation, it emerged James' body was not the first to have been photographed and shared by Cameron Hanson. In January 2021, Hanson sent his wife a phone recording of body worn video taken by him when he used Pava incapacitant spray on an individual known to have mental health difficulties. He messaged her: “Two arrests, both fights. Pavad a mental health patient lol.”Camerson Hanson said: “Tis questionable but justified in this case ha ha.”
Kirstie Hanson had been found to send an image from a police computer to a member of the public, highlighting a man's name and telling them he was a 'big criminal'. She also sent sensitive information about sex offenders to her husband and accessed the police computers without a purpose to look up what was happening in the area for Riley, who was not in work at the time.
Riley, of Carholme Avenue, Burnley, admitted three counts of misconduct in public office; and three counts of conspiracy to cause a computer to perform a function to secure/enable unauthorised access to a program/ data. “You, Cameron Hanson and Kirstie Hanson, indulged in a course of conduct extending over a significant period of time.
“The profession requires personnel with honesty, integrity, compassion and respect, and PC Hanson and his colleagues showed none of those values to us or to our son.DCI Eugene Swift, from Lancashire Constabulary's Anti Corruption Unit, said: “The behaviour of these three individuals has no place in Lancashire Constabulary and damages public confidence and trust in the police at both a local and national level.
