A
Metropolitan Police officer has been
dismissed without notice after a misconduct hearing found he had
used his work-issued phone to contact sex workers, including while on duty.
PC Shabul Miah, who had been attached to the
North East Public Protection Unit, was found to have exchanged a significant number of text messages with
mobile numbers linked to sexually explicit websites between
5 April and 12 October 2024.
Misconduct Hearing Findings
During the hearing held on
Friday, 28 March, the panel was told that PC Miah had used his Met-issued phone for
personal sexual gratification, in breach of professional standards.
This dismissal comes amid ongoing efforts by the Met to
rebuild public trust and
enforce stricter accountability within the ranks.
