A VOLUNTEER police officer stands accused of going to a crime scene and taking a picture of a dead woman on his personal mobile phone.

Isaac Glanville, a former special constable at Thames Valley Police, then allegedly shared the snap with a friend.

He is also accused of trying to get hold of the body-worn camera and footage that showed him taking the picture as well as taking illegal drugs.

SC Glanville, who resigned from working at his base in Slough on November 14, will face the head of the police force, Chief Constable John Campbell, at a misconduct hearing on May 6.

The allegations are so serious that if proven it would amount to gross misconduct and he could be banned from ever working in the police again – not just in frontline roles.

The meeting will take place over video link and members of the public will be unable to attend.
