Met officers sacked for racist Meghan WhatsApp post
Two Met Police officers have been sacked for making " abhorrent" comments in a group chat, including a racist joke about The Duchess of Sussex.
A tribunal heard PC Sukhdev Jeer and PC Paul Hefford, who worked at Bethnal Green police in East London , posted the messages on WhatsApp in 2018.
It found they had committed Gross Misconduct .
The hearing was told the messages mocked The People the officers were supposed to be policing.
The tribunal heard details of several racist posts, including one containing a racist slur about The Duchess of Sussex shortly before her marriage to Prince Harry .
Chairman Maurice Cohen said they were " highly corrosive and discriminatory" to members of The Public " including those in The Local community" they served.
The hearing also heard the pair failed to report offensive messages they received from other members of The Group .
'Serious reputational damage'At an earlier hearing, Mr Cohen said: " The postings in this group caused serious reputational damage to the Metropolitan Police as a whole. "
He added that the content was posted over an " extended period of time" and that the officers should have been aware of their " unacceptable nature".
PC Jeer had previously told the hearing he was " not in a good place" and had used the language to cope with the " issues" he had been experiencing.
Barrister Ben Summers had argued he should not be dismissed over a " handful of inappropriate jokes" which caused " limited harm" and said he should receive A Warning instead of being sacked.
Michael Shaw , representing PC Hefford, said The Officer found his posts " embarrassing and difficult" and had learned a " sad lesson".
Vishal Misra , representing The Met , said: " The Panel has found the postings were abhorrent and discriminatory in nature and the damage it has done to public confidence is substantial and far-reaching. "
Mr Misra also said " trust once lost is not easily regained" adding The Men 's dismissal was required to maintain public confidence in The Force .
