Detective Chief Superintendent Marcus Barnett, local policing commander, said:"It is deeply disappointing and frustrating that my officers have fallen short of the expectation to uphold COVID-19 regulations.
"Although officers donated money to charity as part of the haircut, this does not excuse them from what was a very poor decision. I expect a lot more of them. "It is right, therefore, officers should each face a £200 fine, as well as misconduct action for those two who organised this event."Mr Barnett added:"Quite rightly, the public expect police to be role models in following the regulations which are designed to prevent the spread of this deadly virus.
"I hope this action proves that police are not immune to enforcement of the rules, and we are prepared as an organisation to take action if we see officers have behaved irresponsibly."

Which is very wrong!!! And every government official should be charged the same in future for breaking a rule which gives the wrong message to people!!!
And not a single one of the 31 police officers thought getting a barber into the police station might be a bit iffy?
Who’d have thought 18 months ago that someone going for a hair cut would make the evening news in Sky. World is a crazy place!
£800 fine each as well then? Expensive trim
Can someone explain to me how a Police Officer can break the law and still remain in their job? Where is the moral authority to impose Laws on others when you have broken the law yourself?
