A senior Metropolitan Police inspector, DI Ben Coogan, is dismissed from the force after an internal misconduct process linked to images stored on his work phone. According to reports, the matter is tied to intimate photographs of a junior colleague, which were described as naked photos. The Evening Standard says the images were discovered during a routine audit of DI Coogan’s phone. The Daily Mail reports that, following a hearing in April, he is sacked for gross misconduct. The reports state that investigators found five sexual images saved on the work device, involving a female colleague with whom DI Coogan was romantically involved. The accounts agree on the core points: the photos are found on a work phone, the officer faces a misconduct hearing, and the outcome is dismissal for gross misconduct. Details on whether any additional charges are pursued or the specific disciplinary findings beyond the gross misconduct decision are not provided in the excerpts.
