Shocking scale of ‘blatant’ racism in the Metropolitan Police as discrimination tribunals soar by 110 per cent
“Our aim is to be a service that all Londoners can be proud of. There is no place for discrimination of any kind in the Met.
“We are creating a workplace where everyone can thrive – and that is inclusive and accessible to all.”

A Cambridgeshire police officer who used excessive force on a man in custody, used discriminatory language and treated the man less favourably due to his ethnicity, has been dismissed for gross misconduct following an Independent Office for Police Conduct investigation. Police Sergeant Gregory Wyss was dismissed without notice on 10 May 2024 and will be placed on the police barred list:

On 25 July 2022, Police Sergeant Gregory Wyss was found not guilty of racially aggravated assault by beating and not guilty of assault by beating, at Cambridge Crown Court. A third charge, administering a poision or noxious thing, had been dropped by the prosecution ahead of the trial.
“There is also zero tolerance for racism in Cambridgeshire."
"Any racist behaviour not only loses the trust and respect of our communities, but damages the reputation of the force, all those that work within
it and causes great harm to policing in general."

Former PC Steven Tissier, of Essex Police, has been imprisoned for four years after he filmed himself sexually assaulting a woman he thought was asleep.
Former PC Steven Tissier thought the woman, whom he knew, was asleep on a sofa when he touched her leg, thigh and bottom. Later, after she woke up and was waiting for a taxi to take her home, he sexually assaulted her again, by groping her breast under her top.
The attack happened at former PC Steven Tissier's home address in March 2022 after he and his victim had been on a night out in London with others. His victim told a friend what had happened and reported it to the police.
During the resulting investigation, five short videos were found on former PC Steven Tissier's phone showing him assaulting the victim while he thought she was asleep. He sent them to a friend a few hours after the survivor went home with no instruction for them to be deleted afterwards:

Merseyside Police Acting Inspector Andrew McLullich, who resigned from the force after being served a misconduct notice, and who had sex with a fellow officer, Stephanie Glynn, in the middle of a Screwfix car park, and who also exchanged WhatsApp messages with a fellow officer, PC Paul Jackson, in which the pair made graphic sexual comments about numerous female colleagues, was placed on the College of Policing Barred List in 2022, meaning he can no longer work in policing.
PC Paul Jackson met the same fate.
Details of their conduct are described in the following article:

Merseyside Police former trainee PC Joel Lee has been ordered to do 200 hours of unpaid work, banned from driving for two years and also ordered to pay £2 compensation, a £114 surcharge and £85 costs by Manchester Magistrates' Court, having previously pleaded guilty to two charges of drink and drug driving and theft at an earlier hearing.
Former trainee PC Joel Lee was nearly three times over the drink-drive limit when he crashed his VW Golf into a garden on Queens Drive, Liverpool, in November 2023, three months after joining the police.

Merseyside Police said former trainee PC Joel Lee resigned in April 2024. An accelerated gross misconduct hearing the same month found he 'acted in a manner that has disrespect for the law' and he would have been dismissed without notice had he still been a serving officer.

Giving evidence in the trial of Metropolitan Police Roads and Transport Policing Command hard man PC Perry Lathwood of Normans Bay, East Sussex, at City of London Magistrates' Court on 10 May 2024, Jocelyn Agyemang described how she felt violated when she was attacked by him in Whitehorse Road, Thornton Heath, when dropping her son off at her mother's house before heading to an appointment in Marylebone. Mercifully for her, a crowd of members of the local community gathered, with people filming the officer and asking Metropolitan Police hard man PC Perry Lathwood why he had arrested her.

Mother felt violated by 'wrongful arrest' - court
Earlier today in a verdict delivered at Westminster Magistrates Court, Metropolitan Police hard man PC Perry Lathwood was found guilty of the assault by beating of African mother Jocelyn Agyemang in front of her crying child on 21 July 2023.
Deputy Senior District Judge Tan Ikram said that Metropolitan Police hard man PC Perry Lathwood's account of what had happened 'lacked credibility'. According to Deputy Senior District Judge Tan Ikram:
'I find that bearing in mind the nature of the potential offences and difficult as she was, [b[it was not necessary to grab (Jocelyn Agyemang)'s arm at that point, arrest her and handcuff her;/b].
'I find objectively that there were not reasonable grounds to suggest that the arrest was necessary for any of the reasons advanced by (PC Perry Lathwood).
'I find that she ought to have been warned that she would be arrested if she did not give her name and address.
'She was never asked her name or address, bearing in mind the nature of the offence or potential offences I have no reason to believe that any criminal enquiry would be frustrated if she was not arrested there and then.
'I did not find that he ever honestly believed the arrest was necessary to protect her child, or to prevent injury to herself.
'Those suggestions are completely without foundation and fanciful.
'He said in evidence that all those reasons were in his head at the time prior to arresting her - I simply do not believe him.
'I find upon consideration of the facts that there were no reasonable grounds to believe that the arrest was necessary on the grounds advanced by the officers.
'I've no hesitation in concluding that the officer made an error in judgement and overreacted in arresting her.
'I am satisfied the situation escalated once (PC Perry Lathwood) assaulted her, by grabbing (Jocelyn Agyemang)'s arm, and then arresting her.
'Handcuffing her inflamed the situation even further.
'I accept that (Jocelyn Agyemang)'s reaction to being arrested was dramatic, she protested loudly and theatrically but that was not the situation prior to her being grabbed by the arm.
'I find that (PC Perry Lathwood) acted unlawfully by grabbing (Jocelyn Agyemang)'s arm and handcuffing her.
'The prosecution has proved that the force applied was not lawful - it follows that I find (PC Perry Lathwood) guilty of assault.':

“This verdict is a huge setback to our ability to rebuild trust with Londoners. We will learn the lessons from this and we apologise to the woman and the wider community who were deeply affected.

Metropolitan Police hard man PC Perry Lathwood will be sentenced on 14 June 2024. It can now be revealed that on 16 July 2008, the same police officer caused a mini-riot in the centre of Croydon's shopping centre a few bus stops away from this incident, when he sprayed CS gas in the face of a girl after he (and another police officer) had asked one of a group of teenaged children to pick up a burger wrapping she had thrown on the ground.

But you will look in vain for this statement on West Midlands Police' web site, or indeed any mention of Aron May's name. West Midlands routinely anonymise officers listed on their Misconduct hearings outcomes page.
And as I post this they do not appear to have got around to conveying the outcome of his misconduct hearing, held a month ago, to the College of Policing.
As a result he is not yet listed on the College's Barred list.

In July 2009, a trial at Croydon Crown Court heard allegations from a 16-year-old girl that PC Perry Lathwood sprayed CS gas at her during a mini-riot that he and another police officer had initiated in the centre of Croydon in a row with teenagers about litter. Following the melee, the girl was found to have suffered bruising and tenderness on her left upper thigh, right knee and the lower part of her mouth was inflamed and her lips were swollen.
In July 2012, PC Perry Lathwood's attempt to have a 19-year-old student and Crystal Palace FC supporter banned from football grounds was dismissed by Tower Bridge Magistrates Court who did not believe his evidence.
It has also been alleged online that following his arrival in Normans Bay in 2017, PC Perry Lathwood joined others in a campaign of harrssment against an existing couple in the village.
