A woman has been sacked from Merseyside police for sending racist WhatsApp messages.
Former constable, Samantha Simpson, would have been dismissed from the force without notice had she still been serving, after a misconduct hearing found she had breached the standards of professional behaviour. Simpson, who also plays outside backs for the Warrington Wolves, worked at Merseyside police since July 2017.
A misconduct hearing, held at Merseyside police headquarters, on Tuesday, June 6, this year, found she had breached police conduct regulations on multiple occasions between July 2019 to January 2022.
