Police chief blasts officers c

The Deputy Chief Constable has blasted statistics which reveal that 16 police officers have been caught drink driving this year as "totally unacceptable".

The 16 officers who have been convicted this year will all face internal misconduct hearings.

Deputy Chief Constable Paul Leighton, who is in charge of service discipline, said today: "These figures are totally unacceptable. The behaviour of all police officers, both on and off duty, should be of the highest order.

"Integrity is central to the public support of a policing organisation working with all communities to make Northern Ireland a safer place for everyone."

Any officer detected, in addition to being convicted by a court, which may result in a mandatory disqualification and, usually, a fine, will be brought before a misconduct hearing within the Police Service.

Mr Leighton added: "If we take these steps to deal with this issue we can look the public straight in the eye.

"We can assure them that we are providing a police service to the best of our ability. We need to make sure that the few breaches of integrity are detected early and dealt with."
