One of the officers was dismissed for gross misconduct but got his job back after appealing the sanction twice
A woman has been paid £40,000 compensation by Nottinghamshire Police after two officers unlawfully arrested her in her home. Nottinghamshire Police have admitted the officers used unlawful force against the woman during an incident on April 24, 2017, for which she has now won compensation in a civil case.
Sgt Jonathan Flint and PC Richard Elliott were called to the house after a bailiff, who been sent to collect an outstanding debt, alleged two of Sharon's family members had stolen a parcel from his car. When Nottinghamshire Police's professional standards department investigated Sharon's complaint it concluded both officers had a case to answer for misconduct.
Chief Constable Craig Guildford said: “The officer concerned was initially dismissed by an independent legally qualified Panel Chair after Gross Misconduct was found. "The subsequent financial settlement made to Sharon was absolutely necessary, correct and the right thing to do. The force deeply regrets any suffering that has been caused to Sharon.
