Watchdog's ruling says chief constable should face hearing
Gloucester Citizen
|October 02, 2025
GLOUCESTERSHIRE police's Chief Constable Rod Hansen should face a gross misconduct hearing over allegations he failed to appropriately act on reports of a data breach, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has concluded.
It’s alleged Mr Hansen didn’t sufficiently act on information passed to him in October 2022 regarding a staff member suspected of carrying out an unauthorised search of police systems - and accessing third party personal data - in relation to a road traffic collision.
The collision took place in September 2022 but concerns over Mr Hansen’s response to the matter only came to light in 2024.
The IOPC subsequently received a conduct referral from Gloucestershire’s Office for the Police & Crime Commissioner (OPCC) on August 15 2024 and it launched an independent investigation into the allegations on August 19, 2024.
