US EditionEx-West Mercia Police Federation Secretary Jailed for Fraud
Jamie Harrison misappropriated £12,699 of police federation funds for personal use including family holidays and entertainment, repaying the full amount after conviction.
- Former West Mercia Police Federation Treasurer Jamie Harrison was sentenced to two years and three months in prison on Wednesday at Worcester Crown Court, convicted of 15 counts of fraud by abuse of position.
- Between 2010 and 2018, Harrison exploited his control over Federation funds to steal approximately £13,500, taking advantage of what the judge called "the laxity of controls" over petty cash.
- During solemn National Police Memorial Days, Harrison claimed £4,745 for personal family trips; he also fraudulently received £5,202 in pay for 16 days spent traveling in Ireland and Italy.
- The court ordered Harrison to pay £5,256 toward prosecution costs, while he repaid more than £16,500 covering the fraud and inflation for distribution to police charities.
- Det Supt Tony Garner of West Mercia Police described Harrison's conduct as a "betrayal of the trust" placed in him by colleagues; the Federation has now separated the roles of secretary and treasurer.
