A description of the alleged conduct:
On 20 August 2025, whilst on duty, the officer was breathalysed as part of random testing and provided two readings of 25ug/100ml and 26ug/100ml which is in breach of force policy and over the limit for Police Officers on duty, being 13ug/100ml.
On 20 August 2025 the officer drove a motor vehicle whilst being over the prescribed alcohol limit.
