Photo: fileThe ''disgraceful'' Dunedin police officer who harassed a businessman for two years has resigned from the force ahead of learning the final outcome of an employment investigation. Jeremy Buis was found guilty of criminal harassment, threatening to do grievous bodily harm and intentional damage after a judge-alone trial in March. Buis waged a two-and-a-half-year harassment campaign against Dunedin businessman Danny Pryde after a parking complaint led to the police officer being ticketed. The officer was suspended from his role in February 2015 and remained on paid leave until earlier this month. ''We understand the actions of one officer can impact on the reputation of the whole organisation,'' he said.
