PC Martin Briggs' 'astonishing' treatment of the young women breached police standards of behaviour and amounted to gross misconduct, the hearing was told.

A strict police instructor left a female trainee bloodied after using bolt cutters to remove earrings from three student officers, a disciplinary hearing was told.

Three officers - PC Georgia Hedditch, PC Elizabeth Christie and PC Holly Law - told him they were physically unable to remove their stud earrings. He then had them file one by one into an office next to the hall and told them to put their heads down on a jacket on a desk, it was heard. The junior officers all said they complied as they thought if they didn't do the test they would fail the course and damage their career prospects.

'PC Briggs' behaviour was described by different witnesses as angry, abrupt, rude and impatient', he said. 'He was swearing a lot.'The hearing was told the officer was 'incredibly aggressive' to the students who he accused of 'f*****g with my OCD' by incorrectly filling in a form before the test.'He came back with bolt cutters and what looked like secateurs.
