Racist female cop Samantha Simpson who sent vile WhatsApp messages sacked for gross misconduct
AN ex-cop and rugby league star has been sacked after sending racist WhatsApp messages about “pervy p***s”.
Samantha Simpson was dismissed by Merseyside Police for breaching professional behaviour standards.
Simpson, who plays rugby for Warrington Wolves, sent messages to her boyfriend while on duty discussing the staff at a petrol station.
She messaged on WhatsApp on July 8, 2019: “Won’t be leaving, just got some paperwork to do, I am gonna actually go into a phone shop in town tho, I don’t go to them garages cause they’ve got weird pervy P***s in them, like never have gone in there xxxx.’
The hearing found Simpson breached police conduct regulations on multiple occasions between July 2019 and January 2022.
Most of the breaches were in the form of WhatsApp messages, where Simpson repeatedly used the racial slur ‘P***.’
On December 22, 2021, Simpson was messaging her ex about buying clothes and boots.
She commented that she had been given the wrong pair of boots, messaging: ‘Omfg they have given me the wrong boots Ben, no, the f*** P*** c***, hasn’t checked the box has he.’
A further 11 occasions of Simpson using the word ‘P***’ were also identified and detailed in the hearing.
The former constable had been part of Merseyside Police since July 2017, during which she took an oath to accord equal respects to all people.
The hearing concluded the language used by Simpson in the messages contradicts her oath and shows a “complete lack of respect for all members” of the community.
Chaired by Chief Constable Kennedy, the Accelerated Misconduct Hearing was held at Merseyside Police Headquarters on June 6.
During the hearing, Chief Constable Kennedy said: “It is my view that an officer who is prepared to use this language has no place in policing and it would absolutely and quite rightly undermine the trust and confidence in Merseyside Police, if they were to remain in Merseyside Police.”
Simpson did not attend the hearing.
