The chief constable of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Constabulary has stood down after an investigation was launched into his conduct by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

Scott Chilton was informed this morning by investigators from the IOPC that he is under investigation for potential gross misconduct.



Chilton, who has around 33 years in policing after joining at 18, was previously under investigation by the police watchdog for failing to disclose a relationship after an allegation was made at another former officer's misconduct hearing, reports The Daily Echo.

GB News has contacted Hampshire Police for a comment.
