Officers and child sex offences

Freedom of Information (FOI) Act request ref: 01/FIN/26/4982

Version Date: 24/08/2026

The Professional Standards Department has provided the following information: 

My Research Project is focused on child sex offenders. The term "child sexual offence" would include any sexual offence involving or perpetrated against a child (under 18), including contact and non-contact offences (such as Indecent Images of Children). It would also include any offence committed to facilitate a child sexual offence, such as kidnapping.

Please can you provide me with the following information:

* Since 2016, how many police officers and police staff (including PCSOs and Special Constables) have been convicted of a child sexual offence? Please can you provide both lists.

No Police Officers or Police Staff have been convicted of a child sexual offence since 2016. 

* Since 2016, how many police officers and police staff (including PCSOs and Special Constables) have been under investigation as a suspect for a child sexual offence, and what were the finalisation codes (i.e. how many were closed due to evidential difficulties/victim withdrew support/charged/other)?

Two Police Officers have been under investigation as a suspect for a child sexual offence. The outcomes were ‘Not Guilty’ and ‘No Further Action’.

* Since 2016, how many police officers and police staff (including PCSOs and Special Constables) were convicted of a child sexual offence across each month and year?

Not applicable – See Q1 

* Since 2016, how many police officers and police staff (including PCSOs and Special Constables) were investigated for any criminal offence, had no further action taken, but were later convicted of a child sexual offence?

None 

* Please can you provide me the basic details (name) of any serving or retired police officers and police staff members (including PCSOs and Special Constables) who have been convicted of a child sexual offence since 2016?

Not applicable – See Q1 

* For any specific cases since 2016, is it possible to obtain the body worn video footage of the arrest of any serving or retired police officers and police staff (including PCSOs and Special Constables) who were convicted of a child sexual offence?
