Three Merseyside Police officers are due to face misconduct hearings in relation to separate incidents involving alleged excessive force, lying to courts and failing to declare business interests.
The first case, involving an officer listed as Temporary Sergeant O'Neill, will take place next Tuesday (September 27) over accusations the officer breached standards of professional behaviour relating to "Honesty and Integrity, Orders and Instructions and Discreditable Conduct."
According to the notice, posted on the Merseyside Police website, T/Sgt. O'Neil is alleged to have made a statutory declaration to a court that was untrue and failed to declare a conviction and driving licence endorsement to the force.

The following week, on October 3, a hearing will be held for a PC who has since left the force, described as former Constable Kane, who stands accused of gross misconduct for breaching standards on "Use of Force, Authority, Respect and Courtesy, Duties and Responsibilities and Discreditable Conduct".
According to the notice, on July 22 last year PC Kane allegedly "used unnecessary and disproportionate force towards a detained person and were not diligent in the execution of their duties".
The final case involves a PC Moon, who is accused of breaching standards under "Honest and Integrity and Orders and Instructions". The officer will face allegations that they continued with an unauthorised business interest and failed to inform Merseyside Police about it.
That hearing will take place on October 22. All three hearings will take place at Merseyside Police HQ at Rose Hill, off St Anne Street. Misconduct panels have the power to sack police officers if gross misconduct is proved, and the officers can then be added to the College of Policing barred list, meaning they are blocked from working in any policing role in the UK.
Officers can also be given warnings, including final written warnings.
