## Summary

Twenty-two Metropolitan Police officers in the East Area command have been served disciplinary notices and placed on restricted duties after an inquiry into a large WhatsApp group. The investigation matters because it concerns alleged racist, sexist and unprofessional messages, as well as the treatment of vulnerable people and those in custody.

The Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards has seized about 40,000 messages, and the inquiry could affect up to 30 personnel, from constables to inspectors. Allegations include a Muslim officer referring to “white trash”; he is said to deny racist intent. The Met says there is currently no indication the conduct meets the criminal threshold, while the investigation reportedly began after a sexist message was alleged to have been sent to a female colleague.
