A police officer who left bomb hoax note in a fast food restaurant was among officers who were found guilty of misconduct with Essex Police in the last five years.

Craig Davis who was a former constable with Essex Police was found guilty of fixing a note to the toilet wall of McDonalds restaurant in Brompton Road, London SW3 using chewing gum, which stated "COMBAT 18 WOZ HERE, GET READY FOR AN EXPLOSION" ("the bomb hoax note"); on 10 November 1999.

PC Craig Davis was based at Canvey police station and it happened before he was a police officer.

On 4 January 2004 Mr Davis completed and signed to declare the truth and completeness for a Security Information Questionnaire and said he hadn't been involved in terrorism, sabotage, been involved in actions intended to overthrow or undermine Parliamentary democracy by political, industrial or violent means.

He also said he'd never been a member of, or supported a group or groups in any of the above activities and was not aware of any other circumstances or characteristics not covered by your previous answers which might affect your suitability for employment on secret work, eg serious medical or psychological problems, habitual use of addictive substances (eg drugs, alcohol etc), significant financial difficulties, conduct liable to lead to susceptibility to pressure or improper influence.

On 6 July 2017 he denied writing the bomb hoax note and pinning the bomb hoax note to the wall in the McDonalds toilet with chewing gum he had chewed.

His conduct was in breach of the Standards of Professional Behaviour of: Honesty and Integrity in that the declarations he made on the Security Information Questionnaire on 4 January 2004 referred to were false.
