Racist Leicestershire Police officer sacked

Racist Leicestershire Police officer sacked.

A number of Leicestershire officers have been sacked following misconduct hearings since forces began holding the sessions in public a year ago.

They include a constable who was convicted of a sex offence when he was a teenager and another who was convicted of an offence of burglary while he was on duty.

However, hearings can be held behind closed doors in some circumstances.

In this case, it is understood to be because of ongoing criminal proceedings.
