Former Worcestershire PC committed gross misconduct
PC Rogers made offensive comments and initiated unwanted contact through social media
The actions of a former West Mercia Police officer amounted to gross misconduct. which would have caused him to be dismissed had he not have already resigned in April 2024.
PC Nathan Rogers, who was previously based in the Operations and Communications Centre (OCC) in Worcestershire, was subject to a hearing yesterday (10 June), following allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
Reports found that he repeatedly engaged in a course of inappropriate behaviour towards female colleagues between June 2023 and May 2025.
Rogers made offensive comments and initiated unwanted contact through social media which was deemed derogatory and harassing in nature.
He previously received warnings about his behaviour, but continued to breach Standards of Professional Behaviour making further highly offensive and vulgar comments.
Despite prior disciplinary measures, Rogers repeatedly failed to uphold professional standards, showing a blatant disregard for his colleagues and for the values of the force.
The hearing found his actions breached the standards of authority, respect, and courtesy; and amounted to discreditable conduct. He would have been dismissed had he not have already resigned in April 2024.
Deputy Chief Constable Rachel Jones said: “Nathan Rogers was given opportunities to learn and change his behaviour, but he continued to act in a wholly unacceptable and unprofessional manner.
“His actions were highly unprofessional and undoubtedly made his female colleagues feel deeply uncomfortable and such behaviour will not be tolerated.”
Rogers will now be added to the College of Policing’s Barred List, banning him from working for a UK police service in the future.
