The hearing concluded that Rogers' behaviour was a clear violation of the principles regarding authority, respect, and politeness expected of his position. Deputy Chief Constable Rachel Jones condemned the behaviour: "Nathan Rogers was given opportunities to learn and change his behaviour, but he continued to act in a wholly unacceptable and unprofessional manner." She further emphasised that such conduct is unwelcome and assured that 'his actions were highly unprofessional and undoubtedly made his female colleagues feel deeply uncomfortable and such behaviour will not be tolerated'. West Mercia Police commented on the matter as well, with a spokesperson saying: "Despite both informal and formal interventions, he continued to breach Standards of Professional Behaviour, making further highly offensive and vulgar comments." The spokesperson lamented that "Despite prior disciplinary measures, Rogers repeatedly failed to uphold professional standards, showing a blatant disregard for his colleagues and for the values of the force." Rogers will now be placed on the College of Policing's Barred List, prohibiting him from future employment within any UK police service. The hearing's result is subject to the standard appeals procedure.
