Ex-Cop Banned for Life After Racist, Sexist Chat

About this episode

Former police officer Jordan Foulkes, from Thames Valley Police, has been permanently banned from policing after sending racist and sexist messages in a group chat with a convicted sex offender. The chat, which took place between October 2023 and January 2024, was found to contain highly offensive content, including jabs related to his job as an officer. Foulkes was aware of his friends offender status earlier than he admitted, and was found to have been dishonest about the timeline of events. The misconduct panel ruled his actions as gross misconduct, and he was set to be fired if he hadnt resigned in February. Foulkes is now on the national barred list, preventing him from wearing a badge in the UK.

On April 10th, a former cop named Jordan Falgus from Tim's Valley Police just got banned for life from policing after sending races in sexist. Messages in a group chat with a convicted sex offender. This went down between October 2023 and January 2024, and a misconduct panel ruled at gross misconduct. He'd have been fired if he hadn't quit back in February. The chat was full of highly offensive stuff, including jabs that tied into his job as an officer. One of the guys in the group was a registered sex offender, Falgus knew from school, busted in 2023 for making indecent images of kids. That dude got arrested again in 2024 with his phone seized. Investigators dug into the phone and found Falgus knew about his friend's offender status way earlier than he admitted. He told his bosses he only learned in October 2024, but chat logs showed he was in the loop by October 2023. The panel called his straight up dishonesty, saying his actions broke rules on honesty,

integrity, equality, and just plain discreditable behavior. It was all intentional, they said, and no place for someone in uniform. Now Falcus lands on the national barred list, so no more badges for him anywhere in the UK. Case closed on another officer who fell short of the mark.
