A Humberside Police officer has been accused of several cases of misconduct.

Detective Constable Julian McGill faces being dismissed on grounds of gross misconduct after accessing crime reports which he did not have "proper policing purpose" to do so.

It is alleged on August 4, 2016, Det Con McGill accessed two separate crime reports relating to an allegation of harassment where he was the victim.

On the same date, he also inappropriately accessed another crime report relating to an incident at his home address where he was the suspect.

On August 17, and August 18 of the same year, Det Con McGill is said to have again accessed the same document where he was alleged to have been a suspect in a crime that was being investigated.

The force says all of these would amount to a breach of the Standards of Professional Behaviour in respect of Confidentiality, Orders and Instructions and Duties and Responsibilities contrary to the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2012.

Det Con McGill is due to appear at Beverley Police Station in New Walk on Monday, September 25, for a police misconduct hearing which will start at 10am.

Anyone wishing to attend the hearing should please pre-register by sending their details to PSBAdmin@humberside.pnn.police.uk.

You will need to supply your name, date of birth, address, email address and contact telephone number.

Available space will limit numbers of the public attending to six and a notification will be sent to successful applicants by Friday, September 22.

Correction: An earlier version of this story stated that the officer had been dismissed. This is not the case.

Humberside Police say "the matters set out above are a breach of the standards which are so serious as to justify dismissal and therefore constitute gross misconduct". The outcome will be decided at the misconduct hearing.

We apologise for the error.
