Accelerated Misconduct hearing for PC Dominik John
Notice of a hearing to be held in public
Name of the officer concerned: PC Dominik John
Date: 5 October 2026
Time: 11am
Location:Palestra House, 197 Blackfriars Road, London, SE1 8NJ
This is a conduct matter concerning Police Constable Dominik John, who falsified his Officer Safety Training (OST) record card by recording a Job-Related Fitness Test (JRFT) pass despite not having completed the assessment.
On 16 October 2025, PC John attended Officer Safety Training at Jack Brown House. During the course, he was asked whether he had completed his JRFT, as successful completion of the test was a prerequisite for participation in the OST programme. The instructors noted that the JRFT pass date on his record card had been entered in handwriting, which raised concerns, as completion dates are ordinarily applied by official stamp.
Subsequent enquiries were conducted and confirmed that there was no record of PC John having completed the JRFT. As a result, he was deemed ineligible to participate in the OST course and was instructed to report the matter to his line manager.
Police Constable Dominik John of East Area Command Unit will answer allegations that his conduct amounts to a breach of the Standards of Professional Behaviour in respect of:
- Discreditable Conduct
- Duties and Responsibilities
- Honesty and Integrity (Integrity only)
It is alleged that this conduct, if proven, individually and/or cumulatively amounts to gross misconduct and therefore should be dismissed.
If you wish to apply to attend the hearing you must book no later than 1pm the previous working day. This is to allow for sufficient time to process the application. Any requests received after this time will be unable to be processed in time for the hearing and therefore will be rejected.
The identity of victims and witnesses will be protected during the hearing as appropriate.
Please ensure that you have read the conditions of entry prior to booking.
