Former police chief found guilty of making inappropriate advances to female colleagues has a new job

Former police chief constable of Avon and Somerset Constabulary who resigned over charges of misconduct has been appointed as a director for security company G4S.

Nick Gargan, who held the top job with Avon and Somerset, was found guilty of eight charges, including accusations of making inappropriate advances to female colleagues, leaking internal emails and using his work phone to send, receive and store intimate images.

Following a policing career of almost 30 years, he has now been awarded a four-month role as programme director in public services with G4S.

Mr Gargan gave up his £150,000-a-year position with the police force earlier this year after receiving eight final written warnings following an investigation, which Tory MPs branded a "trial by media and smear".

Mr Gargan said he was keen to continue contributing to security services for the public.
