Andrew Page, prosecuting, told Liverpool Magistrates Court that police were called to her home in April last year to investigate a complaint by her partner.
Barlow commented that she knew she should have handed the PAVA spray back. She denied that she had any plans to impersonate a police officer using the items and uniform. But she continued: "As a police officer there is a high degree of trust, not just in your ability to conduct yourself properly, but because you are, unlike members of the public, allowed to have access to weapons - batons and CG gas. The nature of those items being in your home causes me great concern.
