A former police officer accused of failing to treat a potential victim of domestic abuse with compassion or empathy will face a misconduct hearing.
Mark Stickley allegedly made inappropriate, unprofessional or disrespectful comments to the woman, failed to keep an open mind about what he was told and pre-judged the situation.
He is said to have recorded that her ex-partner had not been violent when that was either wrong or contrary to what he was told.
