Under the Freedom of Information Act, and within the legal timeframe, can you please tell me:
The total number of police officers disciplined for conduct on social media from January 1, 2016 to April 10, 2020?
And the total number of complaints regarding their conduct over that period?
Can you please tell me what kind of disciplinary action they received - was it taken to a misconduct hearing, or were they just reprimanded?
And what social media sites were they on?
Also, what were the offences? What kind of things did they write/post?
Were the disciplinaries in relation to their personal accounts or officer-run profiles such as roads policing unit accounts?
