A ex-constable formerly deployed with Humberside Police faces an accelerated misconduct hearing next week after lying in a job application for a role outside of the police service.

In a notice published on the force website it is alleged that PC 0448 Grant Luckman PC Luckman breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour in the following ways:

1. While signed off sick from work with Humberside Police, former PC Luckman successfully applied and worked full time as an HGV Technician.
2. When applying to work as a HGV Technician, former PC Luckman informed his prospective new employer that he had resigned from Humberside Police in January 2023, when he knew this to be incorrect and untruthful. At the time of applying for the role in April 2023, he was still a serving police officer with Humberside Police and was signed off sick from duty.
3. Former PC Luckman failed to submit a Business Interests application regarding his above secondary employment contrary to Section 8 of the Police Regulations 2003 and Force Policy ‘Business Interests, Secondary Employment and Voluntary Work Policy’.

The force goes on to say that the above conduct breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour relating to Honesty & Integrity and Duties and Responsibilities and individually and/ or cumulatively amounts to gross misconduct.

Grant Luckman, who uses the strapline ‘I’ll have a go at anything’ on his LinkedIn social media profile, is a former soldier having served for ten years with The Household Cavalry Regiment. He has also worked as an emergency first responder with two NHS Trusts in the South and East of England.

The misconduct hearing will open at 9.30am on 7th November, 2023 at the former Magistrates’ Court in Goole.

The force has not named the Legally Qualified Chair or the other two members of the Panel who will decide Mr Luckman’s case. One of the sanctions available is to add his name to the College of Policing’s Barred List which would prevent him from being employed by another police force.
