Former officer charged with misconduct in public office

A former Surrey police officer is due to appear in court on Wednesday (16 August), after being charged with eight counts of misconduct in a public office.

Adam Davies, 28, a former PC based at Guildford who resigned from Surrey Police in October 2021, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

The investigation into the offences, which are alleged to have been committed between January 2020 and December 2020, was carried out by Surrey Police’s Anti-Corruption Unit under the direction of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

Following consultation with the IOPC, the case was referred to the Crown Prosecution Service, which authorised the charges.
