Overview

• PC Andrew Doran resigned in July before an accelerated hearing and was placed on the barred list, permanently barring him from policing.
• The misconduct outcome notice records that between 2018 and 2025 he sent 17 sexist images and received nine, sent three racist pictures and received 11, as well as other discriminatory material.
• It also details that on 12 February 2021 he received a video depicting extreme pornography and did not challenge or report it.
• Chief Constable Mark Roberts said that dismissal without notice would have followed if Doran had not resigned and that his conduct discredited Cheshire Police.
• The notice warns that the possession of the extreme pornography clip may amount to a criminal offence and could prompt a separate investigation.
