This @LancsPolice should result in an immediate suspension. Not only is it an admission that the police officer is willing to pervert the course of justice, but also, how does he know that he is not a transmitter of COVID yet standing close and shouting at someone?
I am aware that you have made a statement that an apology to the member of the public is due. It is, of course.
But police officers like this harm the reputation of and trust in the police force generally and make it harder for decent police officers to be believed.

You suspend police officer like this, not only for the protection of the public, the upholding of law and order, but to protect fellow HONEST police officers.
