Former Derbyshire sergeant pleads not guilty to misconduct and computer misuse charges
A former police sergeant accused of pursuing improper relationships with eight women — including two colleagues and a domestic abuse victim — has denied all 10 charges against him, bbc.co.uk reports.
Tarjinderjit Nizzer, 57, of Sinfin in Derby, resigned from Derbyshire Police in February. He is alleged to have committed the offences while still a serving officer, with conduct said to include asking women for selfies and suggesting private meetings.
Nizzer faces eight counts of misconduct in public office relating to incidents between January 2020 and November 2024. He also faces one charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice — by cancelling a traffic offence report — and one charge of computer misuse.
He appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday and entered not guilty pleas to all counts.
Judge Nirmal Shant KC set a trial date of 14 February 2028. She acknowledged the length of the wait, saying: "That seems a long time away. The court will make some effort to see if there's an earlier date. If it's available, you will be called back in and told that date."
A pre-trial hearing was scheduled for 8 January. Nizzer was granted bail on condition that he makes no contact with any prosecution witnesses.
