Two Lancashire police officers sacked for gross misconduct

PC Nigel Mungur and PC Nicola Mungur were dismissed from Lancashire Constabulary with immediate effect after breaching standards of professional behaviour in the areas of honesty and integrity, duties and responsibilities, orders and instructions, confidentiality and discreditable conduct.

The pair were sacked following a Public Special Case Hearing on March 7.

Superintendent Mackenzie, Head of Professional Standards, Lancashire Constabulary, said: “I am always very disappointed to discover conduct such as this within Lancashire Constabulary, it undermines the great work the vast majority of our staff and officers do on a day to day basis. There is no place for conduct of this type within the police and we are committed to dealing with such matters whenever and wherever they arise. I apologise on behalf of Lancashire Constabulary for this failure to meet the standards that we and the public quite rightly expect from our police officers.”
