A former Northamptonshire Police officer is set to appear in court this week charged with corruption.

Oliver Binns will face Northampton magistrates on Friday (March 4) accused of corrupt/improper exercise of police powers and privileges by a constable contrary to the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015.

A spokesperson for Northamptonshire Police said the force referred a case of alleged abuse of police powers and privileges to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) in January 2021.
