A Brighton police officer is due to appear in court tomorrow (Tuesday 9 July) charged with assault.
Sussex Police said this afternoon: “Adam Burke, 29, will appear before Guildford Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 9 July charged with assault.”
The force said that the charge was “in connection with use of force on a member of the public at an incident in Brighton in December 2023 while he was on duty as a Sussex Police officer”.
Sussex Police added: “Burke resigned from his position as a police constable in December 2023.
“The matter was investigated by the force Professional Standards Department who will also consider misconduct proceedings once the criminal proceedings have concluded.”
More two tier policing no doubt.
