It is alleged that PC Bishop failed to declare that she had submitted false information in medical vetting forms which had been submitted as part of PC Bishop's application to join the Metropolitan Police Service in August 2022. It is also alleged that, in May 2023, PC Bishop admitted to other officers that the medical vetting forms that had been submitted as part of her application to join the Metropolitan Police Service had been altered, and that PC Bishop knew this at the time of the application.
Through acting this way, it is alleged that PC Bishop was dishonest and demonstrated a lack of integrity to the Metropolitan Police Service. Therefore, if proven, PC Bishop breached the Standard of Professional Behaviour and that this conduct, if proven, amounts to gross misconduct in that it is so serious as to justify dismissal.
