Nine officers at UK's busiest police station suspended amid gross misconduct investigation
Nine officers at the UK's busiest police station could be sacked in an investigation into allegations of excessive force on prisoners, misogyny and inappropriate behaviour.
One officer, a police constable, is also being investigated for the potential criminal offence of perverting the course of justice after an undercover TV exposé.
The officers, from Charing Cross police station near Trafalgar Square in central London, have been suspended by Scotland Yard.
They are the subject of a gross misconduct investigation by the watchdog the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
Two others, a former Met officer and a civilian staff worker, are also facing the same disciplinary charge which could lead to dismissal.
Another serving officer has been told they are no longer being investigated because it was thought their behaviour did not breach professional standards.
The accusations against officers at Charing Cross police station include excessive use of force on prisoners and making discriminatory and misogynistic comments. The incidents are alleged to have happened on and off duty between August 2024 and January 2025.
