Five Merseyside police officers face misconduct hearings over “inappropriate” texts found on sacked inspector’s phone

FIVE police officers are facing disciplinary action after a huge probe into “inappropriate” text messages.

The investigation was launched as part of the inquiry into the activities of sacked Chief Inspector Mark Brew earlier this year. Brew, 47, was suspended while an internal inquiry took place and his work mobile phone was analysed as part of the probe.

The ECHO understands as well as implicating Brew and leading to his dismissal, the contents of certain text messages sparked the further investigation of other officers. It is believed at one point up to 28 texts, some said to be from officers in other forces, were examined. Merseyside Police today confirmed five officers were heading for misconduct hearings as a result of the discoveries.

A high ranking Inspector with Merseyside Police force's Matrix gun squad has been sacked over allegations that he used his Police issued mobile phone to send and exchange dirty texts with colleagues and download internet porn.

Inspector Mark Brew, was also alleged to have left a conference to meet with a married woman and got a junior constable to drive from Merseyside to London to pick him up rather than him get the train.

Brew is said to have admitted using his work iPhone and Blackberry to trawl the net for porn and to swap ‘sex texts’ with two woman, thought to be colleagues within Merseyside police.

The Inspector was suspended last year amid a shake-up of Matrix after it was revealed damning photos of a search team fooling around in the home of a suspect when they were supposed to be looking for clues.

Six officers – Sgt Charlie Tennant and five constables – were later sacked by the force.

85 yr old gets six months for videoing in a Public place - FREE Norman Scarth!

Norman Scarth (pictured) is 85 years old, and a World war II veteran. In his latter years of life, he finds himself still fighting tyranny, as in his retirement his life has ben hijacked by constant harrassment and targetting by the bullying authorities and Police.

This is the kind of oppression that he and so many others fought against, many dying in the process.



Norman was jailed in July 2011 for SIX MONTHS, for an alledged "contempt of court" when he was found video recording his own court porceedings, (are there not CCTV cameras in every "court").

This is an evil and barbaric way to treat an 85 year old man! Norman is currently in Armley prison in Leeds. You can write to him at;
