Daniel Greenwood would have been sacked had he not already resigned, a misconduct panel finds.
A senior police officer who broke Covid rules to have sex with a junior colleague would have been sacked had he still been employed, a misconduct panel concluded.
Evidence submitted to the panel described how Mr Greenwood attended a flat in early 2021 and had sex with her, with the visit "in breach" of new Covid restrictions introduced on 6 January. The West Yorkshire Police Authority panel concluded, however, that the woman had been "consistent" with her evidence that Mr Greenwood had made the visit after 6 January.
He said that the woman was "vulnerable" for reasons including the age gap and her rank, therefore his actions were "an abuse of his position for a sexual purpose".
