The PSNI stated: “In G District since 2010, the total number of officers who have received Superintendents Written Warnings (SWW) is 25, and the ranks of the officers are Constable and Sergeant.”

During the same period eight officers (Inspector, Sergeant and Constable rank) who were attached to G District at the time of misconduct hearing were the subject of formal discipline since 2010.

The PSNI said some of these officers may no longer be serving in this District now.

The charges faced by the officers related to integrity, professional duty, police investigations, duty of supervisors and detained persons.

Back in April the Sentinel revealed five police officers in G District appeared before misconduct hearings over the past three years whilst a further two resigned before their cases could be heard.

One wayward officer had to resign, three were fined and one was cautioned for various misconduct offences.

And in the last three years, two officers attached to G District resigned prior to a misconduct hearing taking place.
