Former police officer admits multiple counts of misconduct in public office

A former West Yorkshire Police officer has admitted to multiple counts of misconduct in public office.

Jenade Yamin, 31, who worked in Calderdale District at the time of the offences plead guilty to eight counts of misconduct in public office at Bradford Crown Court on August 10.

The charges relate to an investigation into computer misuse, unauthorised disclosure of police information and assisting an offender.

The offending was committed between November 2019 to May 2022, when PC Yamin was a serving West Yorkshire Police officer.

He resigned from the Force in 2023, while under investigation for an unrelated gross misconduct case.

He will be sentenced at Bradford Crown Court, for the misconduct in public office offences, on November 6.

Detective Chief Superintendent Tanya Wilkins of the Professional Standards Directorate said: "The conviction of former police officer Yamin for misconduct in public office represents a serious breach of the trust placed in those who serve our communities.

“Honestly and integrity, are vital to protect public confidence and uphold the highest standards of service.

“If PC Yamin hadn’t already resigned from the force, during a previous gross misconduct investigation, he would have been dismissed without notice. As such he has already been placed on the College of Policing’s barred list and will never work in policing again.”
