Another Metropolitan Police officer has been dismissed following BBC Panorama’s undercover investigation into the force’s Charing Cross station.

PC Mason O’Connor was sacked after a hearing found he had breached standards of professional behaviour, relating to a comment he made to a female colleague, the Met said.

O’Connor was reported to a “proactive wider investigation” following the broadcast of the programme in October 2025 and he has become the 13th officer to be sacked since then, the force added.

Other officers who were covertly filmed for the documentary were seen calling for immigrants to be shot, boasting about excessive use of force and joking about rape and sexual assault.

O’Connor’s dismissal relates to a comment he is alleged to have made to a female colleague while off-duty in a pub in October 2024.

A hearing held on Tuesday found he had breached standards of professional behaviour for authority, respect and courtesy, equality and diversity, and discreditable conduct.
