On Friday, Chief Constable Serena Kennedy chaired an accelerated misconduct hearing at Merseyside Police HQ and it emerged how the officers sent 'vile' messages about female colleagues.
The sickening messages of three young police officers who made vile comments about female colleagues and Ukrainian refugees were exposed by anti-corruption detectives. Bradley Johnson, Thomas Taylor and Conor O'Hare all resigned before they could be sacked after chat logs from a WhatsApp group titled 'Magaluf' recovered 5,394 messages.
Detective Superintendent Mark Baker of the force's Professional Standards Department , presenting the case for the Appropriate Authority , told CC Kennedy: "The Appropriate Authority's case is very simple. Those messages are vile in nature. One officer wrote: "We need a threesome pic in the Poland." Another replied: "With a refugee sat on each of our d****." One officer added: "Promise them a green card, s*** them, then fly back home."
Finding each officer guilty of gross misconduct, Chief Constable Kennedy said the messages showed: "A complete lack of courtesy and respect to their colleagues, who considered them to be good colleagues." Chief Superintendent Jennifer Wilson, head of Merseyside Police's Professional Standards Department, said after the hearing: “These former officers do not deserve to have ever been members of Merseyside Police.
“I want to be clear that their appalling behaviour in no way reflects the behaviour of the vast majority of our hard-working officers and staff who behave in a professional, lawful and respectful manner at all times.
