A police officer has been sacked from the British Transport Police after he turned up to work more than double the drink-drive limit.
McGuinness previously claimed to be going through ‘upheaval’ in his personal life, but did not explain why he turned up drunk for duty.
Chief Constable Lucy D’Orsi said: ‘PC McGuinness started his shift as a frontline response officer, where he could potentially be expected to attend life and death situations in dangerous locations.‘In making the decision to report for duty in an unfit state due to excess alcohol, he put himself, his colleagues, and the public at risk.
‘This was a serious breach of our standards and values at BTP. It is not acceptable for officers to betray the trust of the public or their colleagues.Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at
