Northumbria Police dismissed Detective Sergeant Christopher Hogg following a misconduct hearing. The panel found Hogg guilty of gross misconduct for dishonestly altering police intelligence records to avoid scrutiny and lying to a senior officer about discrepancies.

The investigation revealed that Hogg modified a document to falsely claim no consent was given for a search, which contradicted original entries. Additionally, the hearing determined that Hogg pressured a junior constable to change records to match his altered documentation, violating professional standards of honesty and integrity.
