Armed police officer fired after taking erotic pictures of woman in patrol car

An armed police officer who took explicit photos of a woman in his patrol car while he was on duty has been fired.

PC Mark Crompton, 36, also photographed the woman he was having an affair with inside her home in December 2012 and January 2013.

The images, taken over five days between December 2012 and January 2013, only came to light last year.

Crompton, an officer for 18 years, worked in the armed police unit at Luton Airport since 2019.

The Hertfordshire The Constabulary Disciplinary Panel, led by Chief of Staff Charlie Hall, found serious misconduct.

Chief Constable called Crompton “disgraceful and outrageous”.

He added: “Although this happened a few years ago, it is still damaging today and raises questions among the public.”
