Police: Misconduct

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what her policy is on whether police officers found to have tampered with records of evidence should retain their pension rights.
Answer

A police authority or elected local policing body can apply to have part of a police pension forfeited where an officer is convicted of an offence, committed in connection with their service as a member of a police force, which is either gravely injurious to the interests of the State or liable to lead to a serious loss of confidence in the public service.
