In July, it emerged that eight Met officers were being investigated for allegedly mocking celebrity Katie Price’s son Harvey in a Whatsapp group.

A special constable with Surrey’s Police resigned after posting “inappropriate and racist posts” on their social media and a staff member was disciplined for “racially offensive” Facebook posts.
