A constable's career lives and dies by their probity. You can't be a known liar and stand up in court saying that you saw someone do a naughty thing - the defence will introduce doubt into the jury and you'll never get a conviction.
Of course everyone expects a Chief Constable to lie. They're politicians. But like politicians they can't get caught.
So, if true, it's career ending. But no more than that.
