Police Chiefs Gone Bad

Dirty Cop
A CHEATING chief constable abused his position to keep a secret mistress, a damning report revealed yesterday.
Police watchdogs said married dad-of-three Terry Grange:
SENT sexually explicit and "politically sensitive" emails to his lover from his office computer.
WINED and dined her using his force credit card.
MISSED official meetings to spend time with her.
STAYED with her in London hotel rooms paid for by his force.
BOUGHT booze on his police Barclaycard, and DOUBLE-claimed expenses.
Mr Grange, 59, dramatically quit the Dyfed-Powys force in November after admitting he had allowed his private life to interfere with his professional role.

Police Chief with Kiddy Porn
A police chief admitted a string of child porn charges in court yesterday.
Alec Alexander, 61, a former Chief Superintendent, pleaded guilty to 17 offences after the photographs were found on his computer.
He was charged with making, possessing and distributing the images — some of which were graded at the most serious level.
But Alexander denied raping a girl aged over 16 in 1992 and indecent assault on a girl under 14 between 1983 and 1985.
He also denied taking an indecent photo of a child.
Alexander, of Hull, was a Divisional Commander with Humberside Police before retiring in 2000.
He served in the force for nearly 30 years.
Dressed in a grey suit and tie, bespectacled Alexander — who has been in custody since January — showed no emotion as he stood to enter his pleas at Hull Crown Court yesterday.
Judge Simon Jack told him: Your case will be adjourned for a trial date to be fixed.
In the meantime you will remain in custody.
