He will find out his fate tomorrow.
The West Mercia Police officer, whose identity is legally protected, appeared at a force misconduct hearing on Tuesday.
Mrs Hinton said that the messages came to light when the unidentified police officer was being investigated over a harassment matter – regarding which no further action was taken. "This content is wholly inappropriate for an officer to have. It must have been clear to this officer that these messages would likely cause offence if they entered the public domain.
The pair exchanged social media messages which were described as being of a racist and homophobic nature. Derogatory comments were also made about West Mercia Police colleagues – who the officer was in contact with through work. Detective inspector Lesley Williams, representing the accused officer, said that he accepted sending and receiving the messages and memes.
