Sergeant Ian Koch, a British Transport Police officer, was found guilty of using racist and demeaning language towards two ex-partners, leading to his resignation.
The misconduct panel revealed that Koch's behavior included degrading language and physical intimidation, which resulted in significant psychological distress to his victims.
Despite his colleagues’ positive character references citing his kindness and humor, the chair of the disciplinary hearing condemned Koch for his dishonest portrayal of himself.
Witness statements from Koch’s ex-partners detailed an abusive relationship marked by humiliation and control, with police forces unable to pursue criminal charges.
