In 2023 Norfolk Police investigated four alleged offences of gross misconduct, with all found proven and four officers were later dismissed or would have been if they had not resigned.
In 2024 the force reviewed 16 cases, with 14 found proven and 14 officers left the force.
In the first seven months of 2025, seven cases of gross misconduct were investigated, six were found proven and four officers were either dismissed or would have been if they had not resigned.
In January, Andrew Barton, a police constable with Norfolk Police, was struck off after he handcuffed a “vulnerable juvenile” to railings after using excessive force.
While responding to an incident at a flat on 31 October 2022, he also put the boy in a headlock despite him “not displaying any significant threat”.
