Former Hull police officers found guilty of gross misconduct

The hearing took place at Goole's former magistrates' court

Two former Hull police officers have been found guilty of gross misconduct.

Ross Anderson, 33, and David Brewin, 37, were found to have breached the standards of professional behaviour.

An internal investigation took place after both officers were discovered to have made inappropriate and sexual comments to female colleagues.

A misconduct hearing took place at the former Goole Magistrates' Court on 15 May.

Had both officers not already resigned from the force, they would have been dismissed immediately, Humberside Police said.

Anderson's breaches relate to incidents between 2019 and 2023 when he sent inappropriate photos of himself to three people.

He also made inappropriate sexual comments to a female colleague and touched her without consent.

On social media, Anderson also tried to befriend female colleagues and engage them in inappropriate and sexualised conversations online.

Brewin's breaches relate to incidents in 2020 and 2021 when he, while on duty, made repeated inappropriate and unwanted comments of a sexual nature to a female colleague over a prolonged period.

Anderson resigned in February 2024 and Brewin resigned in April 2024.

They have been placed on the College of Policing barred list which means they are unable to work for any other UK police force.
