During a hearing held at Ormskirk police station on Tuesday August 2, Lisa Fletcher, head of legal services and professional standards for the Appropriate Authority outlined the case against the officer. She said: "It is important to remember that the purpose of these proceedings are to protect public confidence and reputation.She said officers make a commitment to act with honesty and integrity at all times. "PC Rigby was acting in a clearly dishonest manner", she said.
