A hearing into the conduct of Alderney's suspended police sergeant has been postponed for a third time.
Sgt James Priest, who was suspended in April for a non-criminal matter, was due to be tried on dates in May, June and August.
The Journal understands the hearing - which will be held in private after Guernsey Police barred the media - will now take place in September.
Guernsey Police's media liaison officer was unavailable for comment.
Guernsey Police's Professional Standards Department began investigating Sgt Priest last October following a complaint by a member of the public.
Sgt Priest has led Alderney Police since January 2009. During his tenure arrests have increased while crime has fallen. He has also introduced neighbourhood policing to the island.
The Guernsey Bereavement Service has made three visits to Alderney over the past few months and would like to continue to help you. We are visiting the island again on
Tuesday, 23rd February 2024 and would invite anyone who feels they would like Bereavement Counselling to telephone the Bereavement Service Office on 257778 to make a time to meet one of our counsellors.
