Former Met Police Commander Julian Bennett was found to have committed gross misconduct.
A senior police officer has launched an appeal after he was sacked for failing to provide a sample for a drugs test when he was accused of smoking cannabis.A hearing before the Police Appeal Tribunal is due to take place on Friday, with Mr Bennett appealing against both the gross misconduct finding and his sacking.
But it found that he had breached professional standards when he refused to provide a sample for a drugs test after being called in to do so in the presence of an assistant commissioner. Mr Bennett said he had been taking CBD to treat facial palsy and was worried the sample would come up positive for an innocent reason.His lawyers argued that while he had always admitted refusing to provide a sample, the panel found him guilty of a lack of integrity that he had not been accused of.Mr Bennett wrote the force's drugs strategy for 2017-21 as a commander for territorial policing.
