A special constable is facing dismissal after taking Merseyside Police cars without permission.

Myles Doyle faces misconduct allegations over the incidents - which he has been prosecuted for.

The teenager was fined and disqualified from driving after admitting to magistrates that he broke the law.

A disciplinary panel is set to meet in Wavertree on Wednesday following Doyle’s guilty pleas.

Details over the incident will be revealed at the hearing, set to take place at Gardner Systems, but an overview of the offence has been released ahead of next week’s discussions.

The 19-year-old special constable is accused of breaching professional standards after he pleaded guilty to the charges of “unauthorised taking of a police vehicle” and “driving otherwise than in accordance with a driving licence”.

It is thought the offences relate to incidents on Strand Street in Liverpool city centre and Boundary Lane in Everton in June 2016.

He was fined £405, had six points placed on his driving licence and was disqualified from driving for six months at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court.

Following his pleas Doyle, whose collar number is 0980, has been accused of discreditable conduct, failing to abide by orders and instructions and breaching honesty and integrity standards.

If he is found to have breached professional standards he could face a range of punishments, including being dismissed.

Special constables are voluntary officers who support neighbourhood police units.

Just before Christmas special constable Dominic McNeil lost his role with Merseyside Police after he was found to have collected 179 indecent images of children and secretly filmed women on the toilet.

The 23-year-old from Woolton was given 16 months imprisonment, suspended for two years, at Liverpool Crown Court on November 1 after pleading guilty to five offences of downloading and possessing indecent images and a prohibited pseudo image, two offences of outraging public decency, and one of voyeurism.

McNeil is just one of several Merseyside officers to have been dismissed since government transparency legislation called on forces to hold misconduct hearings in public.

Doyle’s hearing is open to the public and will start at 9.30am on February 22.

It is expected to last one day.

While the meeting is open to the public, seating is limited and admission has to be applied for at Merpol.Hearings@merseyside.police.uk.
