The Authority oversaw a Police investigation into an allegation that Southern District officers filmed a mental health patient while guarding them at hospital and shared the video amongst their work team via a workgroup chat.
Police completed an employment process that found the officer who had taken and shared the video was in breach of Police policy and the Police Code of Conduct.
The Authority agrees with this finding. Police have undertaken to deliver training on the use of social media platforms to their staff.
