North London cop sacked over sexist social media posts

A Met Police hearing concluded PC Daniel Naggea breached standards of professional behaviour

An officer has been dismissed without notice for making sexist and misogynistic posts on social media.

A misconduct hearing was held for PC Daniel Naggea, who served the north area basic command unit covering Enfield and Haringey, after a professional standards investigation found he had created several offensive posts on TikTok.

It concluded he was guilty of gross misconduct.

Detective Chief Superintendent Caroline Haines, who is in charge of policing in Enfield and Haringey, said: “PC Naggea’s posts on social media were both offensive and disrespectful.

“This behaviour is unacceptable. PC Naggea has fallen well below the standards we expect from our officers and it is only right that he has been dismissed from the Met.”

The hearing concluded on Tuesday (16th) and found that PC Naggea breached standards of professional behaviour relating to discreditable conduct at the level of gross misconduct.

PC Naggea will be added to the barred list held by the College of Policing. Those appearing on the list cannot be employed by police and a number of related bodies.
