A police chief has vowed to “root out” predators within her force after one of her officers was jailed for taking pictures of a teenager’s breasts.

South Yorkshire Police Chief Constable Lauren Poultney said “wrongdoing and poor standards” would not be tolerated within her ranks after the jailing of now-resigned police officer Paul Hinchcliffe on Friday.
