The former police officer has been barred from serving again
A former GMP officer who sexually-explicit messages, photos and videos to two female colleagues has been barred from ever serving in the police again. Craig Grocott, who resigned from the force in October 2021, was 'persistent' and 'predatory' in his pursuit of the two female police officers who he worked with, a misconduct hearing panel was told on Thursday .
Tribunal Judge Trevor Jones said: "The only option that we would have had if the officer was still serving would have been immediate dismissal when you look at the purpose of the regulations – protecting public confidence, declaration of high standards, protecting police officers staff and the public."
Another female officer also said that she received 'flirtatious' messages from Grocott. He also sent her images of himself lying topless in his bed as well as a sexually explicit image on Snapchat with a suggestive message. Both officers, who were granted anonymity at the hearing, blamed themselves for receiving the 'unwanted' and 'unsolicited' messages and videos. They explained that their responses rejecting his advances were 'quite polite' and felt they were perhaps not as blunt as they could have been.
