A 'STRANGE and creepy’ retired police officer acted like a ‘predator’ for 10 years towards younger female colleagues.

Alan Nisbet made suggestive ‘jokes’, slapped a police officer on the bum in a car park and commented ‘weird things’ on Facebook updates.

In one bizarre incident he told a police officer ‘looks like I’ve made you wet’ when it was raining at a 999 emergency car crash.

Mr Nisbet had actually been given a final warning in 2017 after sending flirty text messages to a member of the public that he had met on the job, but the warning ‘expired’ in May last year.

At a fresh misconduct hearing over the phone last month, the heads of Thames Valley Police heard evidence from four officers who had been left ‘gobsmacked’ and upset by his behaviour.

The first, officer A, was a police community support officer (PSCO) from 2008 until 2011 when Mr Nisbet, who at the time was based in Milton Keynes, made ‘unwanted advances’ by inviting her to use her hot tub and saying she didn’t ‘have to worry about’ his wife.

He also invited her out for a drive in his sports car, asked her to send some bikini pictures and in 2015 at the scene of a crash made a joke about her ‘being wet’ in the rain.

Another officer, B, said they had been on duty together at a car park outside of the Thames Valley area when he slapped her on the bottom.

She said she had been ‘gobsmacked’ when it happened but he said it had been done ‘in the spirit of the situation’ shrugging it off as ‘banter’ without any sexual motive.

At the time she challenged him and didn’t take it any further when he apologised, but years later, in 2019, decided to tell somebody what happened to stop others going through the same thing.

Another officer, C, said she needed to take a shower and have a lie down because she felt unwell.

Mr Nisbet said: “What a thought that would be,” while smirking at her, she said.

He also suggested that she should take her clothes off ‘as a forfeit’ when she lost a game of golfball in the office and asked her to bend over.

Between October 2014 and January 2019 Mr Nisbet also made unsolicited advances at officer D, inviting her for coffee, offering her lifts even though they didn’t work together or live near each other, and 'inappropriately' commenting on her Facebook pictures and statuses.

She said it was ‘strange and creepy’ for somebody much older than her to be inviting her out and said that she dreaded going into the office knowing it could just be the two of them alone.

Mr Nesbit asserted his ‘good character’ with letters of thanks from residents and his array of awards from the force and denied any wrongdoing.

The panel decided that if the public had known about what he had done, their confidence in the police force would have been ‘discredited’.

They also concluded that his actions with the four officers were ‘planned and targeted’, ‘predatory in nature’ and ‘abusive of young inexperienced officers’.

He was put on the police barred list, and despite retiring last year, will never be allowed to work for any police force again.
