A police officer has been accused of using racist language in front of colleagues while on a training exercise.
The ex-officer, who has not been named by Thames Valley Police, is set for a misconduct hearing later this month.
The former officer is alleged to have used racially offensive language while in the presence of colleagues during an officer safety training course in Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire.

The ex-officer was in a team with three other colleagues during the training exercise.
A misconduct hearing will take place from June 22 to June 24, and will be chaired by legally qualified chairperson Harry Ireland.
The hearing will take place in private, meaning the press and public are not permitted to attend.
During the hearing, the chairperson will consider the evidence. If the allegation is proven, the ex-officer will be found to have committed gross conduct, meaning they would have been sacked from the force had they not already left.
