A student police officer has been sacked after claiming to be sick whilst he was flying back from holiday. PC James Lanigan was due to attend a training course in June 2022 but was in fact flying back from Bulgaria, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
The officer, who was based in GMP's City of Manchester division, later admitted asking a relative to book him off sick but that he had lied about being ill.
PC Lanigan apologised and expressed remorse. He admitted his behaviour amounted to misconduct but denied it was gross misconduct.
