Police Constables Wills and Abdalla, based at MO7 Taskforce Operational Command Unit at the time of the alleged incident, will answer allegations that their conduct amounts to a breach of Standard of Professional Behaviour, in respect of:
- Use of Force
- Duties and Responsibilities
- Authority, Respect and Courtesy (in relation to PC Abdalla only)
It is alleged that both officers used excessive, unnecessary and disproportionate force when dealing with a member of the public who failed to stop their vehicle when requested to do so by police officers.
It is further alleged that the language used by PC Abdalla during the same incident showed a lack of respect towards that member of the public.
In acting this way it is alleged that PC Wills and PC Abdalla breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour in respect of Use of Force, Duties and Responsibilities and Authority, Respect and Courtesy (PC Abdalla only) and that their conduct, if proven, amounts to gross misconduct and is so serious as to justify their dismissal.
