A Met Police officer who repeatedly mocked Harvey Price also told colleagues he would name his dog after 'favourite sex killers' and called a rapist cop a ‘legend in my eyes’.
This included seven men and one woman, and part of a Bexley-based safer neighbourhood team.
In the chat, they would frequently post comments that were sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and ‘applauded sexual violence against women’. Those who faced a gross misconduct hearing at Empress State Building in Fulham, west London, yesterday alongside Thomas included: former acting PS Luke Allen, former PC Kelsey Buchan, former PC Carlo Francisco, former PC Lee South, former PC Darren Jenner, PC Glynn Rees, and Officer B, who has been granted anonymity.
All eight officers are subject to three allegations and are said to have breached standards of professional behaviour in relation to equality and diversity, authority, respect and courtesy, challenging and reporting improper conduct and discreditable conduct. Thomas, who was the highest ranking officer in the WhatsApp group, faces an additional allegation of failing to adequately supervise his team and legitimising the ‘derisory chat’ as team sergeant.
