Trainee Pcs sacked for gay abuse

Two trainee police officers have been sacked for homophobic abuse of a fellow recruit.

They were dismissed from the Metropolitan Police force for misconduct after they admitted passing homophobic and insulting notes to a colleague at the police training school in Hendon.

Detective Chief Superintendent Phil Flower, who oversees the internal misconduct process, said: "The comments made were entirely unacceptable conduct.

"The Met must be fully confident that officers will be able to deliver a professional policing service to all the members of our diverse communities, regardless of their sexuality or any other factor."
