Two PSNI officers dismissed over unauthorized footage and derogatory comments

Two Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) officers have been dismissed following an investigation revealing they recorded vulnerable members of the public without consent over a five-year period.

According to findings by the Police Ombudsman, the officers captured imagery in private residences, medical facilities, and police vehicles. Alongside the unauthorized recordings, the individuals engaged in making derogatory remarks about the subjects. The misconduct spanned multiple incidents before leading to their official termination from the force. Senior leadership confirmed the dismissals following the completion of internal disciplinary procedures.
