Following the flash flood in the Rasuwa district and the Nepal-China border area on 26 August, the Nepalese government has established a toll-free emergency Nepalese language number (1234), and a dedicated hotline (1144) accessible in Nepal. If you're affected and need assistance from the UK government, call:
Name of the officer concerned: PC Alexander Hill
Date: 2 September 2026
Time: 9am
Location: Palestra House, 197 Blackfriars Road, Southwark, SE1 8NJ
Police Constable Alexander Hill, based within MO8 Roads and Transport Policing Command Unit, will answer allegations that their conduct amounted to a breach of the Standards of Professional Behaviour, in respect of:
* Discreditable Conduct
* Honesty and integrity (Integrity only)
It is alleged that, on 28 March 2026, PC Hill drove his personal vehicle whilst displaying non-compliant registration plates commonly referred to as "ghost plates", which rendered parts of the registration mark unreadable to certain camera enforcement systems.
In acting in the way alleged, PC Hill has breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour and this conduct, if proven, amounts to gross misconduct in that it is so serious as to justify dismissal.
The identity of victims and witnesses will be protected during the hearing as appropriate.
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.
Please ensure that you have read the conditions of entry prior to booking.
