A Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officer has appeared in court charged with five counts of Section 18 – wounding/causing grievous bodily harm with intent – following investigations by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

The police constable (PC) Paul Jackson was the subject of investigations following complaints about his use of his police dog, and alleged excessive force, during separate incidents from May 2015 to September 2016. The incidents resulted in some of those arrested sustaining serious injuries which required hospital treatment.

Another GMP officer, PC Paul Lockett, was also in court. He is charged with aiding and abetting in relation to one of the Section 18 wounding charges.

We provided evidence from our investigations to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), who made the decision to charge the officers.

Both officers made their first appearance before Preston Magistrates Court on 30 May 2018. They are due before Preston Crown Court on 3 July 2018.
