A police officer who allegedly wrote a Facebook post mocking the parents of missing Madeleine McCann will keep her job - but will be put under a review.
The comment was posted on a Facebook page belonging to PC Paula Manos, a beat manager in Thornbury, back in March 23, the day the UK's coronavirus lockdown was announced.
The post read: "I need a holiday so much I'd be willing to go away with the McCanns at this point."
After investigating the matter, Avon and Somerset Police has said the post does not meed the 'threshold of misconduct'.
However, the force added that the 48-year-old's profile post fell short of the standards of behaviour expected and that she will expected to take part in a review.
A police spokeswoman told Bristol Live : "This matter has been assessed by the Professional Standards Department and does not meet the threshold of misconduct.
"However it does fall short of standards of behaviour expected by the public and police and will be dealt with under the 'practice requires improvement' process.
"The officer is expected to engage with a review process in which they are encouraged to reflect and learn from the issue.
"This will be reviewed as part of their annual assessment."
The force previously said it did not condone the 'sentiments' expressed in the Facebook post.
Three-year-old Madeleine McCann vanished during a family getaway in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in May 2007.
