Former Wiltshire Police employee, Rachel Beale has today (30/03) been sentenced to six months imprisonment following an earlier guilty please to misconduct in a public office. More information can be found on Wiltshire Police's website.
Police and Crime Commissioner, Philip Wilkinson said: “I'm exasperated and appalled that this is the second such sentencing of a Wilshire Police employee in a little over 24 hours, where they have abused their position of trust for their own gratification.
“Rachel Beale betrayed public trust when she began an inappropriate, intimate, relationship with a male offender she was responsible for supervising in her role within Wiltshire Police's Management of Sexual or Violent Offenders (MOSOVO) Unit.
“This will inevitably damage public confidence in policing and both the Chief Constable and I will eradicate any trace of corruption and misconduct within Wiltshire Police.
“We are both absolutely determined to ensure that public trust does not reach a place where it is irreparably broken.”
