A 'predatory' female police officer who tracked down a crime scene witness for dates and posed in her uniform on dating apps has been barred from employment by the force. The 27-year-old constable had abused her position by intentionally taking a barman's personal details at the scene of a public order incident, despite the man not having directly seen the event.

A Hampshire Police misconduct panel heard how she then tracked the barman down to arrange a date. The officer had also previously been warned about her wearing of her official police uniform in various social media posts and had even posted pictures in it to the dating app Tinder.

The hearing was informed that the officer, known only as PC A, had been granted anonymity because identifying her would 'substantially hinder her mental health'. On PC A's Tinder profile, her in-app bio prompted potential matches by saying: 'Looking for a slightly mentally unstable wife?'.
Following the conclusion of the investigation into the conduct of the officer, it was ruled that had PC A not already quit the force, that she would have been sacked. PC A had served for Hampshire Police for roughly four years in the Portsmouth area prior to her resignation.
A Hampshire Police hearing heard how an unnamed female officer posed in her work uniform in dating app photos. During the misconduct hearing, it was heard that PC A had been 'spoken to at length' by Hampshire Police's Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) after she shared images of herself and colleagues in uniform on Tiktok.
