A constable with the Metropolitan Police has been sacked by the force after using antisemitic language at work.
PC Morgan Griffiths, a ward officer based in Dagenham, was found to have committed gross misconduct. A misconduct hearing held on Monday, 9 September, found his conduct had fallen below the standards of professional behaviour expected for discreditable conduct, authority, respect and courtesy and equality and diversity.
"Nobody in the Met should be in any doubt as to the consequences if they are found to have behaved in a discriminatory way.” Chief Superintendent Stuart Bell, the senior officer responsible for policing in east London, said: “There is no place for discriminatory conduct or behaviour in the Met, and it is only right that PC Griffiths has been dismissed.
