Copper sacked for gross misconduct
A police officer has been sacked after allowing her car to be used by an uninsured driver and for breaking the speed limit.
PC Yasmin Norris, who was an officer in Merton Borough, faced a special case hearing on Friday, January 26.
They heard that on June 27 2017, Norris was convicted at Medway Magistrates’ Court of allowing someone else, who did not have the valid insurance to drive her BMW car between August 31 and September 1, 2016.
In addition, Norris was stopped by Police Scotland on May 19, 2017, for driving at 102mph in a 70mph zone.
It was alleged these actions amounted to a breach of the Met’s standards of professional behaviour in respect of, honesty and integrity and discreditable conduct.
Her conduct was proven as gross misconduct and she was dismissed without notice.
