Disciplinary panel had found Julian Bennett guilty of gross misconduct for refusing test when accused of smoking cannabis
He wanted to resign immediately. They wanted to put him through the full disciplinary enquiry
It does seem weird that we have to pay him to ensure he doesn’t slope away on “gardening leave” and escape the enquiry.
There are presumably implications of being sacked instead of resigning. Like losing his pension?
Losing is pension and picking up alternative lucrative employment.
The one thing police officers do have a good handle of is their own work benefits, so I think you’re right in your assumptions.
