At a Misconduct Hearing Panel, it was proven that PC Oliver Gobey had suggested to a colleague that they had been recruited after 9/11 because of their Asian background. He also made a racist comment to a member of the public, also from an Asian background, who had visited Hitchin from Birmingham. PC Gobey, who resigned on the morning of the hearing, also lied about having permission from Hertfordshire Constabulary to volunteer for St John Ambulance - a requirement as a police officer.
