Four Leicestershire police officers who shared offensive messages about gay people and disability
Via WhatsApp Sacked
The four Leicestershire officers were sacked guilty of gross misconduct.
Four of their colleagues who were also members of the private chat group on the mobile app WhatsApp were found guilty of the lesser offence of misconduct. They will all receive final written warnings.
misconduct panel chairman Miran Uddin said dismissal of the four officers who had shared the most offensive and numerous messages was the only option open to him.
He told each of the four officers in turn: “Public confidence in the police would be wholly undermined by any outcome other than dismissal.”
