Wiltshire Police fired three staff in 2024 for faking remote work via "keyboard jamming," part of a UK-wide issue affecting at least 50 officers.
Three Wiltshire Police staff were dismissed in 2024 for faking remote work by pressing keyboard keys to simulate activity, a practice known as "keyboard jamming."
The issue was part of a wider trend across UK police forces, with at least 50 officers investigated and 14 forces taking disciplinary action over the past three years.
Cases were reported in multiple forces, including Avon and Somerset, Greater Manchester, and Devon & Cornwall, with some officers caught using the tactic to visit gyms or golf courses.
In response, some forces have restricted remote work or implemented monitoring tools like random screenshots and productivity tracking.
Wiltshire Police emphasized its commitment to professional standards and urged concerns to be reported anonymously.
