Police finance director suspen

The director of finances at Devon and Cornwall Police has been suspended and is facing allegations of gross misconduct for his role in the 2005 staff pay row.
The force yesterday confirmed that Colin Papworth, interim director of finance and resources, had been suspended from his post pending the outcome of the internal inquiry.
It is the first meaningful action to be taken following the damaging staff evaluation project which threatened to cut the salaries of a third of civilian staff. A wave of protest forced senior officers to back down.
Mr Papworth's suspension follows an inquiry led by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). The exact nature of the allegations against him are not known.
"The Independent Police Complaints Commission can confirm that Devon and Cornwall Constabulary's interim director of finance and resources will face a disciplinary panel on allegations arising from the investigation which may amount to gross misconduct," it said in a statement.
"This is as a result of the IPCC managed investigation into allegations and complaints surrounding the introduction of a pay and grading scheme following a job evaluation exercise."
