Police officer who admitted tragedy chanting at Liverpool match is sacked A police officer who admitted to tragedy chanting at a Liverpool football match has been sacked and barred from policing, Essex Police said.
Sergeant Tyler Coppin, of Essex Police, previously pleaded guilty to the public order offence towards Liverpool fans at a Premier League match at Anfield against Chelsea last October 20.
A misconduct panel chaired by Essex Police Chief Constable Ben-Julian Harrington, held on Friday, found Coppin had breached standards of professional behaviour in relation to honesty and integrity, authority, respect and courtesy and discreditable conduct.
Mr Harrington acknowledged both Coppin’s remorse and a previously unblemished career in policing but found he would be dismissed from the force without notice and will be placed on the College of Policing barred list.
Coppin was given a three-year football banning order and ordered to pay £645 in fines and costs in December, Merseyside Police said.
