Essex police officer sacked after admitting ‘tragedy chanting’ at Anfield Misconduct hearing found Tyler Coppin had breached standards of professional behaviour over offence.
Essex police instigated misconduct proceedings against Sgt Tyler Coppin after he pleaded guilty to the public order offence during the Liverpool game against Chelsea at Anfield last October.
On Friday, a misconduct panel chaired by the Essex police chief constable, Ben-Julian Harrington, found that Coppin had breached standards of professional behaviour in relation to honesty and integrity, authority, respect and courtesy and discreditable conduct.
An Essex police officer has been sacked after admitting “tragedy chanting” at Liverpool fans during a Premier League match last year.
In a “fan information and chant warning”, published on its website in January last year, Chelsea FC wrote: “Chelsea Football Club believes hateful chanting has no place in football.”.
