Chief Constable Grahame Maxwell admits misconduct

North Yorkshire Police's Chief Constable has admitted disreputable conduct, the BBC has learned.

It follows allegations that Grahame Maxwell helped a relative gain unfair advantage in a police recruitment campaign.

A disciplinary tribunal is expected to meet later to decide whether Mr Maxwell should be sacked.

He is thought to be the first chief constable to face gross misconduct charges in more than 30 years.
Recruitment drive

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it would not comment until the process was complete.

Last year, the IPCC led an investigation into a recruitment drive at North Yorkshire Police.

A hotline for applicants had been inundated with 200,000 calls and it was alleged that Mr Maxwell and other individuals working at the force had helped relatives bypass procedures.

A misconduct charge was upheld against Mr Maxwell's deputy, Adam Briggs. He has since retired.

Two civilian staff were sacked and a police constable was given a final written warning.

The last stage in the disciplinary process is expected to take place on Tuesday when an independent panel will decide what action should be taken against Mr Maxwell.

He has admitted disreputable conduct, in effect gross misconduct.

The penalties include a fine, suspension and dismissal.

BBC Home Affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said the last time a chief constable was sacked was thought to be in 1977, when Stanley Parr was forced out of Lancashire Police.

He must be a Cypriot and what is wrong with helping your relatives?

Because it gives an unfair advantage to someone who may not even be any good at the job at the expense of someone qualified who wont get a look in!

Actually No!!, by associating with them in the first place they get to know the real character of the person and their suitability for the position, giving a false reference or recommendation undermines their reliability and credibility.

Many of my friends sons made enquiries about joining and I talked them out of it as I knew that they weren't suitable, the few though that i did 'Speed things along for',have become outstanding Officers.

What position were you in to indulge in corrupt practices in the police as opposed to being sought by the police?

I didn't expect a straight answer and neither would I expect the truth from the likes of you. But bravo for admitting you are corrupt.

Care to substantiate your allegation of Corruption?, The Met lost its teeth when "Force", was deemed a negative and un PC image, so it became the Metropolitan Police Service and Officers became accountable to the scroats that ruin peoples lifes, At least here in the North, they have it 110% correct!(You dont F with the Polis).

The police anywhere are accountable to the people. The MPS in common with all English forces have an oath to the Queen, which is plainly ridiculous and a potential conflict of loyalty. Scottish forces, for example swear their oaths to the people. Your example of north Cyprus is not a good one. The police in the north are only accountable to Turkey and are part of the Turkish Army command structure. That is the reality of an army "state". That isn't to say I haven't met good and honourable TC policemen who do their jobs to the best of their ability (and try and aim for a job in the RoC or on the SBAs).
