Thames Valley Police dismissed 40 officers in 2024/25, a higher rate than the Met, due to stricter misconduct enforcement.
Thames Valley Police dismissed 0.79% of its officers in 2024/25, a higher rate than the Metropolitan Police’s 0.55%, according to new data.
The force, with 5,074 officers, dismissed 40, ranking third in the UK for dismissals, alongside Greater Manchester Police.
The increase is linked to stricter misconduct hearings and upcoming regulatory changes.
Notable cases include officers dismissed for sharing intimate videos and falsifying work hours, with one former officer placed on the barred list.
Deputy Chief Constable Ben Snuggs said the rise reflects stronger accountability and reporting, not widespread misconduct, with only 0.5% of officers barred.
The College of Policing affirmed that swift action preserves public trust.
