Six Humberside Police constables have been suspended pending an investigation into their conduct.

An internal investigation by the Humberside Police Professional Standards Department is ongoing after the officers were suspected of breaching behaviour standards.

Discrimination, lacking self-control and tolerance, and behaving in a way that discredits the police force are all ways an officer can breach the Standards of Professional Behaviour set out to the police.

The six constables were all suspected of breaching the code and the case has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

The Humberside Police Federation say they are aware of the ongoing investigations and are supporting the officers at this time.

Head of Humberside Police's Professional Standards, Superintendent Matt Baldwin, confirmed that six constables have been suspended pending the outcome of the internal investigation.

“Six Police Constables in Hull have been suspended for suspected breaches of professional standards of behaviour," he said.

“Following an internal investigation by the Humberside Police Professional Standards Department we referred the case to the Independent Office for Police Conduct who have asked us to continue with the investigation under their supervision.





“The internal investigation is underway, therefore we cannot provide any further details at this point.”

The Humberside Police Federation have confirmed they in discussions with the constables involved.

Peter Musgrave, chair of the federation said: "We are supporting them through the process that is ongoing.

"We are supporting them as we would with any of our officers."
