Overview
- Gabriel Chandler was sacked without notice after a December 8–12, 2025 misconduct hearing found gross misconduct.
- He launched a months-long campaign against Intensives UK, with abusive emails, malicious reviews, and up to 30–50 calls per day.
- Investigators said he invoked his rank, threatened arrests and prison, and made unfounded claims linking the firm to drugs and child sexual exploitation.
- The dispute began after a £1,359 intensive course booking for his son fell through; the company offered a £1,122 partial refund that he refused.
- The panel found no evidence of fraud, said Chandler lied to Professional Standards and had a clear conflict of interest, and Kent Police’s standards chief affirmed officers must be held accountable.
