Thirteenth Met police officer sacked after undercover BBC investigation
PC Mason O’Connor dismissed following Panorama film showing misogyny and racism at London police station
A 13th serving Metropolitan police officer has been dismissed in relation to an undercover BBC investigation into misogyny and racism at Charing Cross police station.
PC Mason O’Connor was found to have committed discreditable conduct and breached professional behaviour standards, linked to a comment he made towards a female colleague, according to the Met.
The Panorama investigation aired in October 2025 and followed seven months of undercover filming. It included footage of officers calling for immigrants to be shot and boasting about using violence against suspects.
