The Metropolitan Police Service in the United Kingdom has dismissed a Nigerian-British officer, Shola Balogun, from Bromley Police Station for allegedly biting a colleague during a birthday party in Bexleyheath, Kent.
The disciplinary hearing, held from October 21-23, 2024, was chaired by senior officer Christopher McKay, with IPM Amanda Harvey and Assessor-Detective Superintendent Kirsty Mead on the panel. The incident occurred on April 22, 2022, during a 40th birthday celebration attended by around 70 people at Goals Sports Bar.
Despite positive character references from colleagues, including his inspector, the panel determined that Balogun's previous disciplinary history and the seriousness of the incident warranted dismissal without notice. The panel cited that “the only appropriate and proportionate outcome in this case is Dismissal Without Notice.
