Chief Constable asked to resign after guilty misconduct verdicts
Avon and Somerset Police chief constable Nick Gargan, who has been found guilty of eight counts of misconduct, has been asked to resign by police and crime commissioner Sue Mountstevens.
Mr Gargan, who was appointed as chief constable in January 2013, was suspended from his role on full pay in May last year, pending the outcome of a misconduct hearing over allegations of inappropriate advances to female colleagues and leaked internal emails.
Mr Gargan faced 10 charges of gross misconduct and three charges of misconduct. He was found guilty of eight charges at a level of misconduct.
