A CHESHIRE police officer who filmed himself performing an indecent act in a public toilet and sent the footage to a third party has resigned.

At a misconduct hearing this month, the panel ruled that PC Patrick Campbell would have been dismissed without notice, had he not already tendered his resignatio­n before proceeding­s against him.

Cheshire Constabula­ry’s standards page said PC Campbell had also used the force informatio­n systems to conduct research on women he knew, but with no policing purpose.

He also sent pictures of an incident act to a third party without any legitimate policing purpose.

A Cheshire police spokesman said the images were from a collision.

He said PC Campbell had been based in Chester.

The misconduct entry said: “PC Campbell, who resigned from the police service prior to misconduct proceeding­s, filmed himself committing a sexual act in a public toilet and sent the footage to a third party.

“The officer systematic­ally used force systems without a policing purpose to research numerous females he had come into contact with via dating apps

“Or they were known to him through other means.

“The officer also took photograph­s of a policing incident on his personal mobile and sent them to a third party.

“The officer had no legitimate policing purpose for taking and sending these images.”
