Northumbria Police has disclosed that 64 officers were accused of sexual assault or domestic abuse in a four-year period, following a call for greater police transparency from councillors.
Between April 2019 and March 2023, 64 Northumbria Police officers, including two former officers, were accused of sexual or domestic violence, says the force.
Of these, 54 were investigated, 17 of whom continued in their normal duties during the investigations.
A total of 11 officers were subsequently dismissed following investigations and three were ultimately prosecuted.
