Ban publication of police officer names in misconduct hearings if not sacked

Ban publication of police officer names in misconduct hearings if not sacked — 7,941 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

When police officers face misconduct hearings, their names are routinely published by their force and reported in the press — even in cases where they are not dismissed.

Additional details

This can cause harm, including an enduring negative digital footprint, damage to their reputation, and significant personal trauma. Other sectors do not publish their outcomes. The publishing of names can be deeply damaging to individuals and to families. We call on the government to amend the legislation allowing the publication of these details.
