flag Former cop James Faulkner banned for steroid use, found guilty of gross misconduct.

flag James Faulkner, a former Detective Chief Inspector with Greater Manchester Police, has been barred from policing after admitting to using anabolic steroids, a class C drug, during his service. flag The College of Policing's Barred List was confirmed following a misconduct hearing on January 9, 2026, which found his actions constituted gross misconduct and damaged public trust. flag Though Faulkner had resigned prior to the hearing, officials emphasized that his conduct, including a prior message suggesting steroid use, reflected a "catastrophic lack of judgement" and violated professional standards. flag The decision underscores the force’s commitment to accountability, even for senior officers.
