Disciplinary Hearings Involving On-Duty Actions

When a police officer behaves inappropriately or commits a crime, such as serious fraud, bribery or corruption, while on duty, they are likely to be interviewed under caution as part of a criminal investigation. Our solicitors have advised police officers in many police law and professional misconduct cases.

Early intervention and assistance can often result in the discontinuance of an enquiry; however, if the matter develops into disciplinary proceedings or criminal prosecution, you can be assured that JMW will protect your legal position.  

Disciplinary Hearings Involving Off-Duty Matters

We offer a full range of specialist legal services to police officers who are the subject of enquiries or legal matters relating to off-duty matters. Our services include advice on:

• Employment
• Family
• Driving offences
• Criminal defence
• Reputational management
• Personal insolvency
• Personal injury
• Clinical negligence
• Wills and estate planning
• Conveyancing

These matters are not normally funded by the Police Federation; however, we are able to offer discounted rates to serving police officers, special constables, community support officers (PCSO) and retired police officers (NARPO). Legal expenses insurance may also be available in certain cases.
