At the same time was it was confirmed that Pc Rudd will appeal the decision.
James Wade, of Cambs police professional standards, gave more details of the dismissal in a letter to Chatteris businessman Viv Salisbury.
“Pc Rudd was the subject of a disciplinary hearing before a panel, chaired by the Assistant Chief Constable, on June 13 and 14,” he wrote.
