Former Metropolitan Police Officer Joel Borders (PA)
Two on-duty police officers have been sacked following a misconduct hearing in a WhatApp group, in which racist and sexist messages were shared with other officers.
Police officers met Gary Bailey and Matthew Forster, of the Nuclear Civil Constabulary, were fired after an independent disciplinary committee found that the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) case against the officers had been proven.
He also revealed the case against former Met PCs Joel Borders, Jonathon Cobban and William Neville, as well as former Norfolk Police PC Daniel Comfort, was true.
To build its case against the officers, the IOPC Fund analyzed more than 6,000 messages containing racist and homophobic comments and derogatory remarks aimed at victims of domestic violence, people with disabilities and women.
The IOPC Fund’s Regional Director, Sal Naseem, said: “The opinions expressed by these officers do not belong to a civilized society and, as we have said before, social media cannot be a hiding place for them, that either on a public platform or as part of a private group.”
Borders and Cobban were sentenced to three months in prison in November, while Neville had already been cleared of two counts of sending grossly offensive messages.
