South Yorkshire Police inspector issued with non-molestation order to face misconduct hearing
The serving inspector is set to go before the misconduct hearing tomorrow
A serving inspector with South Yorkshire Police is set to face a misconduct hearing after being issued with a non-molestation order.
Inspector Lee Wilson is set to go before the hearing on Thursday, June 18, 2026.
Documents published by South Yorkshire Police, announcing the hearing and the conduct Inspector Wilson is accused of, state: “It is alleged that in November 2025 the officer was issued a five-year non-molestation order, upon appeal in March 2026 the order was varied by the court to one year.”
A non-molestation order is a type of injunction that can be issued by family courts in England and Wales, in order to prohibit a named person from carrying out abuse or harassment against a person or their child, or to prevent a person from coming near to someone’s home.
Should the alleged conduct be proven, it would amount to a “breach of the Standards of Professional Behaviour in respect of discreditable conduct, and authority, respect and courtesy,” the misconduct documents, which were published yesterday, state.
They add: “The matters set out above are breaches of the Standards which are so serious as to justify dismissal and therefore constitute gross misconduct.”
Detailing the “purpose” of public misconduct hearings, South Yorkshire Police’s website states it is to “show” their “disciplinary system is open and transparent” and to demonstrate that the force does “hold officers who breach the standards of professional behaviour, or those where misconduct is found proven, accountable for their actions.”
Hearings should be heard by a panel of three people that should be chaired by an independent legally qualified person chosen from a pool held by the local policing body, further guidance states.
