Ex-Hampshire police chief barred after gross misconduct ruling over affairs with subordinates

A misconduct panel found Scott Chilton, former chief constable of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, guilty of gross misconduct for sexual relationships with two subordinate officers, including sexual activity while on call. He is barred from future police service. The case underscores internal accountability issues in UK policing, though it is a routine disciplinary matter with no broader market or geopolitical implications.
