Former Oxfordshire policeman facing misconduct hearing for 'lies'

Former Police Constable Liam Yeo is accused of falsifying records by allegedly making false and misleading entries into the police database NICHE and a case file.

These entries reportedly indicated he had spoken to a witness.

If found to have falsified the record, the officer would be in breach of the standards of professional behaviour in relation to honesty and integrity, orders and instructions, duties and responsibilities and discreditable conduct.

This means the panel could rule that he would have been dismissed had they still been serving.

In addition, his details could be place on the College of Policing Barred List, which legally prevents him from ever working in policing, the National Crime Agency, or other specific law enforcement and security bodies

The public misconduct hearing will take place virtually on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at 1.30pm, overseen by Chief Constable Jason Hogg.

The officer, who has since left the force, was based at Didcot Police Station.

A spokesperson for police said: "It is alleged the officer put false and misleading entries into NICHE and a case file, indicating that he had spoken to a witness.

"If found it is alleged that the officer would be in breach of the standards of professional behaviour in relation to honesty and integrity, orders and instructions, duties and responsibilities and discreditable conduct."
