Statement from The Police Federation following hearing into actions of PC Paul Jackson and Sgt Paul Lockett

14 June 2022

The Police Federation of England and Wales notes the recent exoneration of PC Paul Jackson and Sgt Paul Lockett, both GMP officers, at an IOPC directed misconduct hearing, brought against the officers, contrary to the views of GMP, on Friday 10 June 2022.

PFEW also notes this was a prolonged enquiry which lasted more than seven years and had a profound impact on the officers and their families. 

The Police Federation of England and Wales awaits the full judgement from the panel and, on reviewing such, will take any appropriate action necessary in order to best represent the members’ interests.
