Thames Valley Police chief constable suspended amid misconduct investigation

The chief constable of Thames Valley Police has been suspended amid an investigation by the police watchdog into allegations of gross misconduct.

Jason Hogg was suspended with immediate effect amid an Independent Office for Police Conduct investigation into concerns he failed to adequately investigate allegations relating to the improper retention of sensitive police information, police and crime commissioner for Thames Valley Matthew Barber said.

Mr Barber added on Thursday that the matters relate to “alleged breaches of the standards of professional behaviour amounting to failure in duties and responsibilities” and a “lack of honesty and integrity”.

There is no criminal investigation into Mr Hogg.
