PC Taylor Barraclough, an officer who trained with Mr Abraham in Halifax, told the inquest they had both described Sgt Wade and another senior officer as “quite scary”.
“We were scared to go to them with things,” PC Barraclough said.
“I found them quite belittling, They made me feel quite small when I’d go to them with questions about jobs.”
PC Barraclough said there were “between five and seven” occasions at the police station when Mr Abraham was reprimanded by Sgt Wade “in front of everyone in the report room” for issues including “losing things”.
“He really went in on him,” she told the inquest.
“I thought it was a bit too much, a bit too harsh and probably went on for a bit too long.”
PC Barraclough said it was “embarrassing” to be told off in public and it “could have been done privately”.
