If that's true that's unbelievably stupid. Why risk all that for silliness like that? If it's true?
I doubt it will be due to sillyness - if the allegations are true.If that's true that's unbelievably stupid. Why risk all that for silliness like that? If it's true?
More likely breathtaking arrogance and contempt for the rules.

Better to do the job properly than to have to pay him compo later if they make a mess of it.
A la shoesmith debacle.Suspending someone without pay is in effect a summary dismissal without due process and if you read the terms of mosts suspensions you are expected to be contactable during office / normal working hours and expected to be able to attend meetings / investigative interviews etc at relatively short notice - although generally more notice is given to allow representation to be confirmed.

That the CC of A snd S, Mr Gargan has been suspended. Can't see any news on the interweb thingy though ???
http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Hearing-allegations-c...Nice of the IPCC to decide that it shouldn't be done in public, Magna Carta's 800th birthday and no man being above the law and all that...
You could protect the witnesses, but not the CC in this case, i.e. "witness A", "officer A", as we've seen in a recent GMP public misconduct hearing. That may be one reason.
I also wonder if it'd impact on other areas of law which may be available to the 'complainants' if it were heard in public, too.

A petition to get him out of his job has 1,000 signatures and three former Chief Constables of Avon & Somerset police have signed a letter saying he can't stay in his job with eight final warnings against him.
The eight final warnings against Chief Constable Gargan are running concurrently?

Talk about one rule for them....
Possibly, but not necessary in the manner in which you suggest. I imagine a fair bit of conduct which would constitute to a final warning in the police wouldn't do so in private organisations. I'd also suggest the investigatory skill and depth is no where near the same for establishing whether or not there's been misconduct in private organisations.k?Talk about one rule for them....
