A police officer, Kia Pulford Stone, admitted to assault by beating and criminal damage, and left the force before being fired.

The incidents occurred in Wigan, Greater Manchester, and she pleaded guilty in October 2023.

She was blocked from taking on any policing role in Britain and would have been sacked for gross misconduct had she remained with the force.

The decision was made by Merseyside Police’s Professional Standards Department, and she has been added to the College of Policing Barred List.

The force emphasized a zero-tolerance approach to such actions, aiming to maintain public trust and confidence in the police.

“Merseyside Police is committed to ensuring that everyone meets the high expectations of the public and when they don’t we will take robust action,” Cheryl Rhodes said.

“Our officers are the public face of Merseyside Police and it is vital that our communities feel confident that we will hold officers and staff to account when required.”

“Merseyside Police rightly takes a zero-tolerance approach to anyone who commits assault or causes criminal damage,” she said. The unacceptable action of individuals will not be allowed to damage the good name built up by the vast majority of our officers and staff who do an exemplary job and work day in, day out to ensure that all of our communities are protected.”
