Overview
- The IOPC said Scott Chilton has a case to answer for alleged breaches covering honesty and integrity, authority, respect and courtesy, orders and instructions, and discreditable conduct.
- Investigators examined two workplace relationships that were not declared, one before his appointment as chief constable and one during his tenure.
- Allegations include sex with an officer while on duty before he became chief constable and the alleged abuse of position through a relationship while in post.
- The watchdog says he failed to disclose a prior relationship during the recruitment process and then repeatedly denied it to senior figures.
- Hampshire’s OPCC accepted the referral and will set a hearing date, while Chilton remains retired and Alexis Boon now leads the force.
