Brent WPC facing jail over misconduct charges

A Brent policewoman is facing jail after being accused of professional misconduct and sharing confidential information with friends.

Keiley Patton, of Raleigh Road, Hornsey, has been charged with four counts of misconduct in a public office and appeared in Southwark Crown Court, in London, last Friday.

From January until June 2008 the 26-year-old is accused of supplying a class C drug, as well as conducting unauthorised checks on confidential police computers systems and disclosing the information to others.

The police constable, who was based in Wembley, also obtained car insurance for another person through misrepresentation.

During the same period Patton ran police computer checks for people including Nathaniel Williamson, Menlik Lewis, Corey Wright, Carly Learmonth, Acer Reed and Anna and Paul Curtin.

Patton is also charged with burglary of World Airways, in Ealing Road, Wembley, on April 16, 2008, where £4580 worth of cash and calling cards were stolen.

Patton will be sentenced at a later date.
