## Summary

PC Kieran Gale has been dismissed for gross misconduct after having sexual encounters with a trainee special constable he was assigned to mentor. West Mercia Police’s panel found he abused the trust attached to his role and damaged public confidence by engaging in sexual activity while on duty and in a patrol car.

The incidents took place in 2018, including during a search for a missing person, and at a fast-food restaurant car park and a supermarket petrol station in Telford. The panel said Gale also sent the trainee, identified as Ms A, explicit messages and images. It found their relationship was consensual but that Gale’s conduct was discreditable; the case reached professional standards investigators in June 2024 after a phone was seized in an unrelated investigation.
