One of the officers is suspected of taking and sharing a picture at the scene of a man's death they attended while the other two either received or were aware of it.

It comes after two cops were warned they could face jail after photographing the dead bodies of two sisters in a park before WhatsApping the snaps to pals.
The new three officers were investigated by the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC), who passed their findings to the Met Police.
The man's death at the centre of the probe is said to have happened in January 2020, but the suspected wrongdoing only emerged in recent months, MailOnline reports.
The Met, who the Sun Online has approached for comment, has not yet said whether the cops will face any action.
The IOPC began investigating them as they looked into the actions of officers PCs Deniz Jaffer, 47, and Jamie Lewis, 32.
The disgraced pair yesterday pleaded guilty to misconduct in a public office after taking "inappropriate" and "unauthorised" pictures of murdered sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman.

The cops had been told to protect the crime scene after Ms Henry, 46, and Ms Smallman, 27, were found dead in bushes at Fryent Country Park in Wembley, north-west London.
Instead, the pair breached a cordon to get closer to the womens' bodies.
After taking a number of pictures, Lewis superimposed his face on to one of the images and, according to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), used “degrading and sexist language” to describe the women.
The Times reports Ms Henry and Ms Smallman were referred to in message exchanges as “two dead birds”.
At a hearing at the Old Bailey yesterday, both officers admitted committing misconduct in a public office between June 7 and June 23 last year.
Lewis took two photos while Jaffer took four - before sending them on to a female colleague also at the scene.
PC Lewis had also shared photos he had taken at the crime scene with a WhatsApp group of 40-plus police officers called the ‘A Team’.
Those pictures did not show the victims.
Following their guilty pleas, the Met said it was taking "immediate steps" to put former PC Jaffer - who has now resigned - and PC Lewis before accelerated misconduct hearings.
Cressida Dick also expressed "deep regret" over the "utterly unprofessional, disrespectful and deeply insensitive" behaviour of the officers involved and issued a fresh apology to the victims' family.
