A former Slough police constable has been struck off following gross misconduct.

PC Kieran Budd, who was based at Slough Local Policing Area, was dismissed for breaching the standards of Professional Behaviour in respect to Honesty and Integrity.

There were two incidents where the former constable’s actions amounted to gross misconduct. The first incident was on 28 March 2018 when an exemption from a speeding offence form was completed. PC Kieran Budd was told that incorrect information was submitted on the form, but he failed to amend it accordingly.

A week later, significant damage was caused following a collision which occurred when PC Budd was driving a police vehicle. He failed to report the collision at the scene and provided an inaccurate account of the event to his supervisor.

Deputy Chief Constable for Thames Valley Police, John Campbell, said: “PC Budd’s actions fell well below the standard expected of our officers in that he acted dishonestly.

“As such he has been dismissed from the force without notice.”
