Ricky Burr

Ricky Burr, a 47-year-old police sergeant in Aberdeen, UK, has been involved in public criminal proceedings. On June 25, 2026, Burr appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court and pleaded guilty to stalking a female social worker while on duty.

The charges against him included causing fear and alarm through repeated romantic advances, which involved numerous phone calls, social media messages, and sending flowers to her workplace at Royal Cornhill Hospital. Some of this behavior occurred while Burr was actively on duty as a police officer. He was also initially charged with using police systems and databases to access information related to his victim, but his not guilty plea to this specific allegation was accepted by the Crown.

Following his guilty plea, Sheriff Robert Carr deferred sentencing to early August 2026 to allow for a criminal justice social work report to be carried out. Police Scotland confirmed that Burr's actions were fully investigated and stated that his behavior goes against the force's standards, indicating that misconduct proceedings would follow the conclusion of the criminal case.
