Met police detective who sent racist messages allowed to keep her job

6 months ago

A Metropolitan police detective who was found guilty of sending racist messages via WhatsApp has been allowed to keep her job, the Guardian has learned. DS Victoria Teagle was investigated over the messages sent to her then partner, who eventually reported them to police professional standards’ investigators. A hearing was held earlier this year and concluded a fortnight ago by finding the detective’s behaviour had fallen below the standards of the professional behaviour expected from police officers, relating to conduct and authority, and respect and courtesy. The outcome of the case had not been made public. Teagle was found guilty of gross misconduct by a disciplinary panel, and has received a final written warning, which will last three years, the Met has confirmed. Gross misconduct carries a maximum penalty of dismissal without notice and being placed on a list barring people from future employment in policing.
The decision to let Teagle stay has caused outrage among some in policing, who believe it undermines promises by the Met commissioner, Mark Rowley, to rid his force of discrimination.
