Gross misconduct is proven against former PC Raja Khan at a disciplinary hearing.
A police officer flew to Turkey for a holiday on the same day that he reported sick for duty, a misconduct panel has heard.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct said suspicions had been raised after PC Khan reported sick, with police waiting for him when his plane landed back at Stansted Airport on 11 October. The IOPC said PC Khan had been contacted by his line manager on 8 October and he replied by text, saying he was too ill to work.PC Khan then got a third party to access his laptop at home to submit the sickness form on his behalf and send a confirmation email to his line manager, the IOPC added.
Leicestershire Police Chief Constable Rob Nixon said: "This gross misconduct severely undermines the standards and reputation of the police service.
