One officer is currently undergoing disciplinary proceedings which have not yet been concluded.
All Ministry of Defence Police (MDP) officers are expected to perform their duties to the highest standard at all times. Any failure in such standards is taken very seriously.
Note: These figures represent disciplinary proceedings that concluded in either a Misconduct Meeting (* post 2009) or a Misconduct Hearing. The figures do not include officers who resigned prior to proceedings commencing nor those who have not yet had proceedings commenced against them.
