An Enfield special constable has been dismissed from the Met for dishonesty.
Special Constable Harbir Chahil faced a gross misconduct hearing on Monday, 27 November to answer allegations that his conduct breached the Met’s standards of professional behaviour in respect of ‘honesty and integrity’ and ‘discreditable conduct’.
The panel heard that on 12 November 2015, SPC Chahil entered an office within the Financial Services Ombudsman (FSO) building by following an employee through secure doors. Once inside, SPC Chahil produced his warrant card to staff and said he was looking for someone on a “personal matter”. He also gave misleading accounts of why he was there to various members of staff.
SPC Chahil later made dishonest and misleading statements both in writing and in person to the Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards about why he used his warrant card inside the FSO building.
The panel having considered all of the evidence found gross misconduct proven.
The officer was dismissed without notice.
