They swapped racy photos and had sex at her flat between 2020 and 2021.
She was 17 years younger and under his command.
Greenwood, quit his 20-year career ahead of a misconduct hearing, which will today decide if he would have been sacked.
Howarth, had a partner at the time and previously posted photos of herself in revealing outfits on social media.
The hearing was told “functioning alcoholic” Greenwood exploited the age gap after helping her join West Yorkshire Police aged 20.
He admits gross misconduct.
John Beggs KC, representing the force, said: “It ought to have been obvious she was vulnerable by the stark disparity in age and rank.”
