PC Y Alleges Racist Abuse by GM Police | Manchester News

A misconduct hearing is underway involving nine officers from Greater Manchester Police, accused of racist and disrespectful behavior toward PC Y, a female officer born in Africa. Allegations include a sergeant comparing a suspect photo to her mother and another officer mocking her braided hair as a “mop,” while colleagues regularly mimicked her English accent—words like “hello” and “okay”—and laughed at her laugh. PC Y says the behavior made her feel anxious and uncomfortable, even if she sometimes laughed along. Though some officers have apologized, the mimicking allegedly continued. All nine deny wrongdoing, but if proven, the conduct would be deemed gross misconduct. The hearing, focused on incidents at Bury police station, is expected to conclude by September 9th.
