A South Yorkshire Police special constable has been sacked after making ‘racist and puerile’ Facebook posts.
Special Constable Oliver Paduch, an unpaid volunteer for the force, was reported to South Yorkshire Police’s Professional Standards Department by a colleague concerned about what he was putting online.

So SYP discover one of their own is a “smack head”, he does not turn up for his hearing, and nothing is said. and shock, horror, no apparent investigation to capture the persons who he was committing illegal acts with.
SYP reputation just gets lower and lower.
