Police sergeant investigated over alleged social media misuse

A West Midlands Police sergeant is being investigated over alleged misuse of social media, against force policy.

Police say the investigation is in no way connected to the well publicised case of the sergeant who organised online support for the Greater Manchester Police following the deaths of PCs Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone.

"The officer concerned has not been suspended.

"Any breaches of force policy are taken extremely seriously.

"A detective chief inspector has been appointed to lead the inquiry."
