Overview

• Police Constable Elizabeth Kenyon pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly for an early-morning incident in Manchester city centre, receiving a 12-month conditional discharge and £200 in court costs.
• Two on-duty colleagues intervened during the January 11 incident after Kenyon became extremely intoxicated and abusive while out with friends.
• Assistant Chief Constable John Webster chaired the misconduct hearing and ruled that her conduct amounted to gross misconduct.
• Greater Manchester Police dismissed Kenyon with immediate effect and will add her to the College of Policing’s Barred List, barring her from future policing roles.
• The case reinforces that officers are held to professional standards even off duty and that voluntary intoxication offers no mitigation.
