Two more Greater Manchester Police officers get disciplined over 'racist' WhatsApp group
Two more police officers have been disciplined following an investigation into a 'racist' police WhatsApp group, it has emerged.
Other cops whose names came up in the hearing, including two cops who faced internal disciplinary action, cannot be named. The M.E.N. challenged the ruling but Mr Forster said the two other officers who were disciplined had been the subject of 'private' misconduct meetings rather than a public hearing.
The watchdog also investigated three other officers, two for allegedly failing to challenge or report improper conduct and a third over an allegation of drug use. The watchdog found they had 'no case to answer' and so they did not face disciplinary meetings. PC Kelly was said to have described those causing trouble as 'absolute d***heads the lot of them' during the exchange, although the disciplinary panel concluded this was not a racist comment.
The disciplinary panel concluded the 'go back home' comment she had alluded to had 'only one meaning', and was racist. However, the disciplinary panel decided not to sack PC Atkinson, who originally set up the group for male officers on his shift to arrange nights out and five-a-side football. It was originally called "B2 Soldiers'. He said he had nothing to do with the change of name.
