Ex-GMP cop 'barred' from policing after he's convicted of offering to supply steroids
A former Greater Manchester Police constable who was convicted of offering to deal steroids would have been sacked had he not already resigned, the force's chief of police has ruled.
Jones, who was 36 at the time, pleaded guilty to two counts of offering to supply class C drugs when he appeared in court in Liverpool. It followed an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct , which said it found he offered to supply steroids in January 2019 contrary to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.Jones appeared at Liverpool magistrates court in June this year and was sentenced to a 12-month community order, with 80 hours of unpaid work.
In other messages, PC Jones said he had two different types of steroids and offered advice on using them. He also contacted another person on WhatsApp to seek advice about the potential side effects of someone else using steroids. Chief Constable Watson, in his now published ruling, found allegations of 'various breaches of the standards of professional behaviour' proven and said they amounted to 'gross misconduct'. His culpability, he said, 'must be regarded as high' as his 'actions were deliberate, repeated and carried out in the full knowledge that his conduct was patently unlawful'.
