A police constable who kissed an unwilling student officer in a patrol car has been sacked by Lancashire Constabulary.
Salt then took his seatbelt off, pulling her body towards him and kissing her. According the trainee officer, the approach came as a complete surprise and was both uninvited and unwelcome. Shortly after the first incident, Salt stopped the car for a second time. This time it was at Pimbo Industrial Estate in Skelmersdale. There, he placed his hand on her knee without her consent.
A misconduct panel hearing was held to decide whether Salt was guilty of misconduct and what sanctions to take if so. They noted that he was previously of good character but noted that his evidence changed over time, while the other officer was considered to be a "credible witness". The panel noted: "[Salt] was unconvincing in respect of other parts of his evidence e.g.
The panel ruled that Salt had not set out to exploit the junior officer but instead completely misinterpreted the situation. They said there had been flirtatious comments but that this was in an atmosphere he had created and that the woman had never shown any interest in him.
