PC Luke Hunt, based within the North East Command Unit faced allegations at a misconduct hearing that his conduct amounted to breaches of the standards of professional behaviour, in respect of authority, respect and courtesy, discreditable conduct and equality and diversity.
The allegations related to an incident on 27 January 2022 when PC Hunt made racially discriminatory comments towards a colleague. This happened following a social event whilst PC Hunt was off-duty.
After hearing the evidence, the chair found PC Hunt had breached the standards of professional behaviour amounting to gross misconduct and he was dismissed at a hearing held from Monday, 6 November to Wednesday, 8 November.
*Chief Superintendent Simon Crick, of the North East Command Unit, said:* “We expect all of our officers to uphold our high standards of behaviour, when they are both on and off-duty. We have also made it very clear that there is no place for racism in the Met.
“We do not accept conduct of this nature which undermines confidence in our organisation and so it is only right that PC Hunt has been dismissed.”
