In a recent misconduct hearing, two Metropolitan police officers were found guilty of gross misconduct for their involvement in the strip-search of a black teenager, known as Child Q, at her school. The panel deemed the search as inappropriate, unnecessary, and degrading, leading to significant humiliation for the teenager. However, the findings made it clear that race was not a contributing factor in the officers' decision-making process. A third officer involved in the incident faced a lesser misconduct charge. Further details are expected to follow soon.
The panel concluded that the search conducted by the two Metropolitan police officers was grossly inappropriate, finding it degraded and humiliated the teenager.
Significantly, the panel did not find that race played a role in the officers' decisions, ensuring that the focus remained on the officers' conduct.
