Police misconduct encompasses a broader range of misconduct, reflecting the high standards we expect of police officers. Unlike official misconduct, police misconduct can apply to off-duty behaviour as well as conduct on the job. It refers to any conduct (apart from conduct that can be defined as official misconduct) that is disgraceful, improper or unbecoming a police officer, or shows unfitness to be or continue as a police officer, or does not meet the standard the community reasonably expects of a police officer. Examples An example of on-the-job police misconduct would be failing to provide medical treatment to a detainee in a watchhouse. Assaulting another patron in a night club would be an example of off-duty police misconduct.
