A Norfolk policeman has been dismissed after cheating a treasurer of his share of treasure discovered in his field.
David Cockke was employed to use his metal detector to search for any evidence of treasure on his field.
The officer agreed to a 50-50 split of the proceeds of anything he found. However, when he found a haul of historical gold coins, he made profit from selling them without sharing the profits with the land owner.
The deceptive move by the officer has been rebuked as unacceptable , and a dismal considered the only possible action in response to his shameful actions.
Officers are expected to be way above board as enforcers of the law. Whenever they fail to uphold the law they represent as enforcing agents, they become a shame to their profession.
Police officers are never expected to be
dishonourable in their dealings with the public at all and it is always an embarrassment when they are Most police officers abide by the law of the land, but too often, a few bad apples pop up here and there, corrupting both the image and expected substance of the police .
A police spokesperson said the police are expected to show the highest level of personal and professional behaviour.
2016 featured a number of embarrassing cases of police misconduct. Some were for sexual assaults, harassing of women and shady associations with drugs. It gives the overall force a bad look, even though we know the majority of officers conduct themselves appropriately.
This officer clearly fell for the temptation of greed , but unlike the wife murderer going. For the fortune, of his liver, the officer cheated that man of his money. In the end, he cheated himself.
