Officer Dismissed for Breaching Lawful Order | Sheffield News
Description
A police officer in South Yorkshire Police’s Professional Standards Department—essentially internal affairs—was fired after secretly maintaining a romantic relationship with a convicted criminal, despite being explicitly told to cut all contact. The relationship escalated from “nodding terms” in late 2023 to an engagement in August 2025, which she never disclosed to her employer. Even after being warned her vetting was at risk and facing an arrest with a no-contact bail condition, she continued the relationship. A court appearance with the man in March 2025—a clear breach of a lawful order issued in February 2025—sealed her fate. The Chief Constable called dismissal the only option to preserve public trust, and she’s now barred from policing.
