Canwell, who worked for Northamptonshire Police, was convicted by magistrates last year
A Northamptonshire Police officer who attacked a bouncer after she and friends had been kicked out of a pub quit before she would have been sacked. A misconduct hearing was told Karen Canwell, who was fined by magistrates in December, resigned earlier this week.
Former PC Canwell was nominated for a national bravery award in 2019 for helping victims of a suspected acid attack in Northampton in July 2017. But the hearing at the force’s headquarters at Wootton Hall was told she labelled the bouncer she attacked a “convicted rapist” and racist. She was off duty and drunk at the King Edward VII pub in Queen Street, Rushden, on Saturday, December 11, 2021. Fiona Brooks, for the force, said that after last orders, she “persistently failed” to leave the pub despite being asked to.
Dr Gibson told the hearing Canwell continues to deny the assault “despite considerable evidence to the contrary”. “It is unacceptable for officers responsible for upholding the law to break the law,” he said.
