A force apologises after admitting the officer's partner was unaware they were operating undercover.
A police officer engaged in a relationship using their undercover pseudonym, a force has admitted.
It said it "fully recognised" that the situation had been "deeply upsetting over a number of years, and remains so today".The newspaper also claimed the officer and their partner had a child together. Avon and Somerset Police said in a statement: "While working in an undercover role, a former officer engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a member of the public using their pseudonym.
"They played no role in, and were not connected to, the officer's operational deployment. This deployment is historic and happened many years ago."The force added: "We are sorry. We recognise and understand the devastating and appalling impact this has had on all those affected, and we have taken and continue to take our duty of care to them extremely seriously.
