Summary of type of misdemeanour 

The conduct category represents the discipline breach types that was investigated, as laid out in Schedule 1 of the Police Complaints and Discipline Procedure (Jersey) Order 2000 which can be accessed via the link below: 

Police (Complaints and Discipline Procedure) (Jersey) Order 2000 (jerseylaw.je)

More than one discipline code breach can be investigated for each case and multiple breaches can be investigated for each officer complained about.

Identifying the data requested for the years 2019 to 2021 relating to the type of (alleged) misdemeanour and outcome of each case would exceed the timescales prescribed in the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014. Therefore, Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been partly applied.
