Special Constable resigned over Facebook use
A SPECIAL constable from Bedfordshire Police resigned following a complaint over their behaviour on Facebook.
The officer was one of more than 150 across the UK facing disciplinary action over the past three years according to figures released under the Freedom of Information Act.
Chief Constable Mike Cunningham, of the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo), said while officers have a right to privacy, they should be “aware of the risk they are subject to when they identify themselves as being a member of the service”.
