Police Officer,Disciplinary Hearing,Manchester Arena Attack

A police officer who was on control room duty during the Manchester Arena attack faces a disciplinary hearing over evidence he gave to an inquiry. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) previously said Ch Insp Dale Sexton would not face a hearing but changed its position after a Victims' Right To Review (VRR). The watchdog said Ch Insp Sexton will not face criminal charges. The IOPC had initially decided Ch Insp Sexton had no misconduct case to answer, but a second decision maker with no connection to the original investigation said there was enough evidence the officer may have breached police standards of professional behaviour.
