Exclusive: Imran Patel, who resigned last year after reports about his conduct, is being investigated by the IOPC
A former Metropolitan police officer allegedly used sex workers while on duty in the midst of a major investigation into behavioural standards, the Guardian can reveal.
Britain’s largest police force has been described as “institutionally misogynistic” after widespread claims that a “toxic” sexist culture has been allowed to thrive for decades.
Imran Patel resigned from his job as a police constable last year after several reports about his conduct at work over a nine-month period. He was also subject to a fraud investigation, but has been told he will not face criminal prosecution.
He is accused of using sex workers and accessing adult websites while on shift in May 2022, as former civil servant Louise Casey carried out an independent review into behaviour and culture in the force.
