A former Cambridgeshire Police officer stationed at Parkside Police Station has been dismissed following a misconduct hearing.

The hearing took place on 9th March at Lysander House in Bedfordshire.

Detective Sergeant Sean Denby was found to have breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour regarding Authority, Respect and Courtesy, as well as Discreditable Conduct and Honesty and Integrity.

The hearing concluded that Denby would have faced dismissal had he still been a serving officer.

Chief Constable Simon Megicks commented on the case, stating: “The former officer’s behaviour fell far below the standards expected. He showed a lack of self‑control, treated staff and colleagues with disrespect and attempted to use his rank for personal advantage. Such conduct undermines integrity, damages public confidence and brings the policing profession into disrepute.”
