Misconduct999 is an independent news and data platform reporting on police misconduct hearings, disciplinary outcomes and criminal proceedings involving police officers, primarily across England and Wales.
Founded in January 2021, Misconduct999 operates as a specialist news and information service focused on the accurate reporting of official outcomes. We cover misconduct hearings, regulatory decisions and officer-involved court cases, drawing together information that is otherwise published in a fragmented and inconsistent way.
Police misconduct hearings are not centrally coordinated. Each police force publishes notices, outcomes and updates separately, often with limited notice and varying levels of detail. Misconduct999 brings this information together in one place, allowing cases and outcomes to be reported clearly, consistently and in context.
Our work begins with news reporting. We publish factual coverage of hearings, decisions and court proceedings as they occur, reflecting the official findings and determinations issued by the relevant authority at the time of publication. We do not add to, alter or reinterpret those findings beyond what is contained within the official record.
Alongside our reporting, we maintain structured datasets and archives that allow outcomes to be tracked over time and across forces. This provides an indexed and searchable record of police misconduct proceedings, supporting transparency and informed scrutiny.
Since its launch in 2021, Misconduct999 has built an extensive archive of misconduct hearings, outcomes and related proceedings, creating a historical record that extends beyond information retained on many individual force websites.
Since January 2026, Misconduct999 has also been tracking investigations announced by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). These records monitor the opening of independent and directed investigations, the nature of the matters under review, and published outcomes where available. As with our misconduct reporting, this information is drawn from official publications and updated where formal outcomes are issued.
Misconduct999 is committed to factual and objective reporting. We are not affiliated with any police force, regulatory body or government department. We are not a campaigning organisation and do not advocate for or against individual officers, police forces or policing policies. Our role is to report verified information drawn from official and publicly accessible sources so that it can be understood and examined in an informed way.
Information published by Misconduct999 is sourced from police press releases, misconduct hearing notices, written determinations, court listings, judicial decisions, regulatory findings and other official publications. We may also receive information from additional sources, which is verified prior to publication.
Misconduct999 is used by journalists, legal professionals, researchers and members of the public seeking reliable reporting and structured information on police misconduct proceedings and oversight investigations.
We make limited use of AI-assisted tools to support monitoring, indexing and data handling. All editorial decisions and published content are reviewed internally prior to publication to ensure accuracy and consistency.
