Police storm over racist e-mail
Nicola Dowling
A GREATER Manchester Police civilian worker sent a racist e-mail showing a picture of a South African beauty queen with a monkey's head superimposed upon her body.
Now a row has erupted after the man was allowed to keep his job by the force's personnel department.
He was given a written warning, while another person was given a written warning for sending out an Irish joke. Several others were given warnings for misusing the computer system.
The e-mail was found during a routine trawl of the police computers.
Chief Constable Mike Todd and deputy Chief Constable Alan Green were unaware that the disciplinary action was taking place. Senior officers, who are understood to be livid about the e-mail, said they had closed a loophole so that anyone found sending out similar material in the future could be sacked.
