A disciplinary hearing heard arguments from PC Boris McDohl's barrister, who defended his actions as justified while responding to a violent man with a knife.
A rookie police officer with only basic driving permissions was justified in breaking speed limits and running red lights to respond to a 999 call, a disciplinary hearing has been told. PC Boris McDohl, 34, was praised for his 'diligent and decent' conduct when he volunteered to answer reports of a violent man with a knife in a house. He later performed CPR on a 15-year-old who was left in a permanent vegetative state after the police car he was following crashed into him.
PC McDohl admits he exceeded his 'basic' police driving qualification, which stipulated he obey traffic laws like any other driver. The rookie officer, who joined the force a year before and had only completed his 'basic' police driver training five weeks earlier, was clocked at over 58mph in a 30mph zone on Boxing Day 2020. The police car he was following, driven by PC Sarah De Meulemeester, crashed into Khia Whitehead, leaving him with catastrophic injuries. De Meulemeester, who also had 'basic' driving permissions, was found guilty of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and jailed for 30 months
