Written warnings to senior officers

Version Date: 30/04/2025

Could you please tell me how many police officers from your force received a written warning or final written warning (please specify what one) in the calendar year of 2024? The incident may have taken place before 2024.

I am only interested in the following ranks (please break down the information by rank): commissioner, deputy commissioner, assistant commissioner, deputy assistant commissioner, commander chief superintendent and detective chief superintendent, superintendent and detective
superintendent, chief inspector and detective chief inspector, and inspector and detective inspector.

Please send me the actual warning letter the force issued to the person in question, telling me the date of the incident that the officer was given a warning about. The letter can be redacted if it has to be to protect personal information.

The Professional Standards Department has provided the following information.

Only one case was finalised in the time period requested that resulted in a written warning for one of the ranks listed. Please see following link to the Force website: https://www.dorset.police.uk/foi-ai/dorset-police/misconduct/2024/superintendent-peter-browning/

The link includes the full written warning letter and the date of the incident.
