So what did she do exactly? I wouldn't want to be in her shoes so I am trying to understand. I googled the misconduct in a public office and this is what I found but is it negligence or breaching some contractual stipulations?
It is not sufficient that the person is a public officer and has engaged in some form of misconduct. The mere fact that a person is carrying out general duties as a public officer at the time of the alleged misconduct does not mean he or she is necessarily acting as a public officer in respect of the misconduct.
There must be a direct link between the misconduct and an abuse, misuse or breach of the specific powers and duties of the office or position.
The offence would also not normally apply to the actions of a public officer outside that role, unless the misconduct involved improper use of the public officer's specific powers or duties arising from the public office.
A deliberate misuse by an off-duty police officer of the powers of a constable, for example, may mean that the officer is 'acting as such' by virtue of his or her assumption of the powers of the office. Such a situation might arise if an off-duty police officer arrested an innocent man with whom he had a personal dispute or took steps in order to prevent or frustrate an enquiry.
The principles involved apply equally to holders of all public offices. In the case of a school governor or a local authority official or other such member of a public body, for example, it will be necessary to show that the misconduct was closely connected with exercising (or failing to exercise) the relevant public function.

Taking mobile phones and spice into prison and having an inappropriate relationship with a prisoner.
That's misconduct in a public office and I hope she is jailed for putting my life and my work mates lives at risk

I wouldn’t even want to know what the number of crook staff is in the service. Hope she feels the full force of the law.

There seem to be so many crooked officers I just don’t understand the mentality of these people, after everything you go through to get through it baffles me. One thing I wondered the other day is we don’t seem to be drug tested,does anyone know why we aren’t?

Random tests are done but like everything else it boils down to money I'd imagine.
