Married police chief and female PC suspended over improper relationship still off work on full pay 20 months on
Exclusive
A MARRIED police chief and female PC suspended over an improper relationship are still off work on full pay 20 months on.
Bungling bosses are yet to decide whether to discipline Chief Supt Daniel Greenwood, 39, and PC Caitlin Howarth, 23.
West Yorkshire Police’s standards team is investigating alleged misconduct after the pair were suspended in November 2021.
Both are still being paid, with a Chief Supt earning around £87,000 a year and a PC £29,000.
Their force confirmed both “remain suspended and under investigation”.
It comes as ministers vow to make it easier to dismiss disgraced cops — with at least 2,000 at risk in an overhaul of the misconduct system.
