Accelerated Misconduct hearing for DC Mandeep Dari
Notice of a hearing to be held in public
Name of the officer concerned: DC Mandeep Dari
Date: 3 November 2026
Time: 9am
Location: Empress State Building, Empress Approach, Lillie Road, West Brompton, London, SW6 1TR
DC Mandeep Dari, based within the Specialist Crime, North West Command Unit, will answer allegations that their conduct amounted to a breach of the Standards of Professional Behaviour, in respect of:
- Discreditable Conduct
- Orders and Instructions
- Integrity
- Duties and Responsibilities
DC Dari's MPS issued device was subject to routine Lawful Business Monitoring, and it identified a number of messages that were in breach of MPS policies.
It is suspected that between 12/03/2026 and 27/03/2026, DC Dari used the MPS-issued device for personal communications with an individual outside the organisation where there was no evident policing-related purpose.
The content and nature of which were personal, inappropriate, and suggestive of a relationship developing beyond a professional context.
These communications are understood to have included messages exchanged with the daughter of a suspect in a drugs and firearms case. DC Dari was the OIC of this case.
As a result of that stated herein, if proven, DC Dari conduct individually or cumulatively amounts to gross misconduct, and her dismissal may be justified.
The identity of victims and witnesses will be protected during the hearing as appropriate.
