一名前Cumbria军官因在课外发表仇视同性恋的言论被判犯有严重不当行为,导致他的名字被列入警察学院禁止列入的名单。 A former Cumbria officer was found guilty of gross misconduct for homophobic remarks made off-duty, leading to his name being added to the College of Policing barred list.

在2026年1月的听证会结束后,一名前Cumbria警官Richard Winker在2024年6月一次课外酒吧访问期间,对一名同事发表了攻击性、歧视性和仇视同性恋的言论,结果被认定犯有严重不当行为。 A former Cumbria Police officer, Richard Winker, was found to have committed gross misconduct after a January 2026 hearing concluded he made offensive, discriminatory, and homophobic remarks toward a colleague during an off-duty pub visit in June 2024. 尽管小组否认了这些索赔,并列举了一些失忆之处,但小组还是认为他的说法不可信,从概率的权衡中裁定了经证实的指控。 Despite denying the claims and citing memory lapses, the panel found his account implausible and ruled the allegations proven on the balance of probabilities. 受害人的详细证词得到了三位同事的即时讯息和佐证,导致发现Winker的行为违反专业标准,造成重大痛苦,并损害了工作场所文化。 The victim’s detailed testimony, supported by immediate messages and corroboration from three colleagues, led to the finding that Winker’s behavior breached professional standards, caused significant distress, and harmed workplace culture. 由于他在作出决定前辞职,小组记录说,他将被解职,并将他的名字加入警务学院禁止列入的名单。 As he had resigned before the decision, the panel recorded that he would have been dismissed and added his name to the College of Policing barred list.
