PC Radoslaw Drewniaczyk, a Police Scotland officer, experienced a severe mental health crisis after a colleague prank-called him in October 2021, falsely claiming he was being investigated for attempting to engage in sexual activities with a vulnerable minor. The prank, recorded by other colleagues, left Drewniaczyk 'deeply affected' and he subsequently took seven weeks off work due to stress and anxiety. Following the incident, he struggled with his mental health, leading to an extension of his probationary period and an action plan to aid his recovery. However, he continued to face challenges and was ultimately discharged from the police force on July 13, 2023, deemed unfit for duty. Drewniaczyk filed a harassment claim against the Police Service of Scotland, which was dismissed by a Glasgow employment tribunal. Judge Lesley Murphy acknowledged the prank as a 'cruel hoax' but concluded that the recommendation for discharge was a necessary step to ensure operational readiness among police officers.
