00:00Met police officers have been found to have used personal phones to photograph evidence,
00:06including images of a deceased person. A misconduct hearing was told officers routinely
00:12use their own devices and messaging apps because issued equipment was considered inadequate for
00:17quality images. One officer was found to have kept and later shared an image of a deceased male
00:23with colleagues during training. The Metropolitan Police issued written warnings and apologised,
00:29saying the conduct fell below expected professional standards. The panel also heard evidence of wider
00:35concerns around unclear guidance on the use of personal devices in policing. The Met has
00:41apologised for the actions of the officers involved.
