Cmdr James Harman, the head of the Met’s anti-corruption and abuse command, said: “As soon as we were made aware of these allegations we acted to launch an investigation. I am pleased that following the determined work of officers we have been able to secure these charges.
“We are working relentlessly to rebuild the trust of the public, which has understandably been dented by a number of high-profile incidents and investigations in recent years which have involved officers or former officers.”Maybe you should work a bit harder on those serving officers committing actual crimes today, rather than on people who swapped off colour jokes on a private chat group after they'd left your employ..?
It is alleged all six were in a WhatsApp group and the messages that led to the criminal charges were sent and received between August 2018 and September 2022, after their service in the Met had ended, the force said.
Utterly pathetic.

Reading the article in the Guardian I got the impression that Team Dribble were aware of the case but decided to no nothing about it until the BBC started to blab. Of course, we'll never find out who got off scot free because resources were quickly re-allocated to pursuing retired plods.
Result! They didn't have to get off their doughnuts to make it happen. It certainly beats doing any real policing for a living.
And I won't waste time on this Met caper with anything more verbose than 'pitiable', Julia.
Once they start trawling through the phones of MP's I will accept mine being looked at.
Jaded
"Of course, we'll never find out who got off scot free because resources were quickly re-allocated to pursuing retired plods."
It's all smoke and mirrors.
"Result! They didn't have to get off their doughnuts to make it happen."
Indeed!
"And I won't waste time on this Met caper with anything more verbose than 'pitiable', Julia."
I don't pity them. I'm incandescent!
"nce they start trawling through the phones of MP's I will accept mine being looked at."
Who's got the stomach for that?
