'Error of judgement' | Employee sacked for lying about failed maths GCSE during recruitment process

A police officer has been sacked after bosses discovered he had lied about failing his maths GCSE and failing to pass an equivalent exam after his recruitment.

PC Kye Smith was dismissed from Devon and Cornwall Police after a disciplinary hearing found he had listed holding a C grade on his application to join the force in May 2019, which was false.
