Surrey Officer Who Gave Information to Criminal Gang Spared Jail

  • Adam Davies, a former police officer, was sentenced to a two-year suspended prison term for misconduct after sharing police information with criminal associates for 'kudos' and neglecting his duties as an officer.
  • Judge Tony Baumgartner called the case 'exceptional' due to the absence of profit or actual harm from Davies' actions, emphasizing the potential harm to police credibility and public confidence.
  • Davies filmed a vulnerable man's home during a police search and later mocked him for his DVDs, revealing a serious lack of professional judgment.
  • He was ordered to complete 180 hours of unpaid work and a rehabilitation activity of up to 10 days, as the judge noted his immaturity during sentencing.
