PC Caitlin Howarth, a young officer with West Yorkshire Police, was involved in a romantic relationship with drug dealer Joseph Shaw, who previously appeared on the dating show 'First Dates', before having an affair with Chief Superintendent Daniel Greenwood. Howarth dated Shaw in 2021 while he was serving time for drug offenses; he was later sentenced to six and a half years for his role in a £1.5 million heroin ring. Greenwood, who was married and 17 years older than Howarth, admitted to gross misconduct for his relationship with her, which included breaking Covid rules to meet at her flat. Howarth, who was investigated for misconduct in relation to her association with Shaw, had charges against her dropped and resigned from the police force. The relationship and subsequent misconduct hearings have raised significant concerns about police integrity and accountability. Both Howarth and Greenwood's actions have sparked serious scrutiny within the West Yorkshire Police force.
