One of the UK’s few strictly Orthodox police officers will face trial next year, after indicating a not guilty plea to a charge of improper use of the Police National Computer (PNC).
PC Ephraim Chalk, an officer in Barnet, North West London, is charged with conducting a PNC check of a vehicle registration number between March 21 and 22 this year, knowing that it was not for a police purpose.
Robert Morris, defending him, indicated a not guilty plea during a hearing at Southwark Crown Court.
PC Chalk, of Sneath Avenue in Golders Green, will appear at the court on February 25, 2019 for a trial that is set to last no more than three days.
