A PC found guilty of holding thousands of indecent images of children would have been dismissed from the Metropolitan Police had he not resigned in disgrace, a police chief has ruled.
Former Met officer Darren Hourigan, who would patrol the streets of Bromley, Croydon and Sutton, was found in possession of a “very large number of indecent images of children” – including 2,253 category A, 866 category B and 666 category C images, according to a misconduct hearing.
