A former police chief - who resigned in disgrace after an affair with a junior officer - will not face further action for starting a cheese-making business while suspended. Chief Superintendent Daniel Greenwood, 41, was removed from active duty following his relationship with a woman 17 years his junior.
The accusations also stated the pair had exchanged explicit videos and messages while on duty. It has previously been reported that Greenwood faced misconduct proceedings over an affair with rookie officer named Caitlin Howarth. In an opening note, John Beggs KC said: “An officer of Greenwood’s experience, service and rank knew – or ought reasonably to have known – that his sexual dalliances with this probationer were bound to bring discredit upon the police service.
Mr Beggs said their relationship was ‘obviously inappropriate’ given their respective status. In was told that in October 2020, Greenwood turned up at her parent’s house and the pair had ‘consensual dressed sexual activity’, a month before she officially joined the force. The panel was told matters began to unravel when Greenwood advised Miss A she did not need to give reasons for applying for annual leave. She then revealed this advice to a senior officer, who asked Greenwood what he knew of her circumstances.
