A Greater Manchester Police officer has been sacked after he was convicted of stalking and harassment. The offences involved PC Gareth Walker's ex-wife and her new partner after their divorce in 2019, GMP's Chief Constable said as he chaired a misconduct hearing at force HQ.
PC Walker, who was based in Rochdale, appeared before the hearing to answer allegations of gross misconduct in that his conduct amounted to a breach of the standards of professional behaviour contrary to police regulations.
Outlining the case, Chief Con Stephen Watson said the officer separated from his wife of 16 years in September, 2019. The following year, she made a complaint to police about his behaviour and he was subsequently charged with two offences, namely stalking and harassment in relation to her and her new partner.
Chief Con Watson said in July last year, PC Walker appeared at Preston magistrates court and after a trial in which he denied the offences, he was convicted of both counts.
