Officer concerned: Former PC Aminur Rashid
Dates of hearing: 20 - 21 May 2026
Former PC Rashid faced the following allegations:
1. Between January 2022 and December 2024 former PC Rashid posted adverts on various Facebook groups seeking a person to rent a room in a house in Clapham which he stated or implied he lived in. FPC Rashid claimed he worked as an actuary in a bank and that he had two female flatmates who lived with him in the house. Former PC Rashid knew this information was false and these actions were done with the purpose of commencing communication with women with a view to attempt to engage in a sexual or romantic relationship.
2. Former PC Rashid left his police radio in a car unattended with a member of the public whilst it was on and broadcasting police communications.
3. Whilst on duty on 11 June 2023, former PC Rashid showed a colleague a photo of a woman dressed only in her underwear, without any policing purpose.
4. Former PC Rashid accessed and became a member of two women-only WhatsApp groups, where he sent a message referring to himself as “Sofie from Clapham”. He did so on a phone provided by the Metropolitan Police Service without any policing purpose.
5. Between 2nd and 3rd January 2025, former PC Rashid was under an NPCC direction “to have no involvement in any cases/investigations concerning domestic and sexual.” Between these dates, former PC Rashid accessed video clips on evidence.com for cases to which he had no connection, including clips he was prohibited from viewing per the NPCC direction. At the time of accessing
these, former PC Rashid knew he did not have a policing purpose for doing so.
6. On 6th January 2025, former PC Rashid conducted a search on evidence.com for “Stormzy” after reading a news article about the rapper’s disqualification from driving without a policing purpose for doing so.
The Panel, chaired by Commander Andrew Brittain, found all allegations that former PC Rashid faced to be proven and found former PC Rashid’s conduct to have breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour, namely ‘Discreditable Conduct’; ‘Orders and Instructions’; ‘Honestly and Integrity’; and ‘Confidentiality’ at a level of Gross Misconduct.
The Panel ruled that had former PC Rashid still been serving, he would have been dismissed without notice. Former PC Rashid has been added to the College of Policing’s barred list.
