Mirati Souleiman

Introduction

Mirati Souleiman was a Police Constable with the Metropolitan Police until a public misconduct panel chaired by a former commander found he had made inappropriate and sexual comments about colleagues and members of the public, embraced and kissed a colleague without consent, and threatened violence towards colleagues he believed had reported him. The panel, sitting over 12 days from late September to early October 2026, found the majority of the allegations proved or partially proved, determined his conduct amounted to gross misconduct, and concluded that the only appropriate sanction was dismissal without notice. Souleiman will be added to the College of Policing Barred List, ending any prospect of policing again in the UK.

Background Information

Souleiman served as a constable in the Metropolitan Police, the UK’s largest force, at the time of the conduct that ended his career. The allegations spanned the period between October 2024 and January 2025 — roughly the year before the hearing — and centred on his treatment of colleagues and comments about members of the public encountered through his work. The Met’s published outcome summary records that the officer answered the allegations in person and was represented throughout the hearing by his Federation representative, the Police Federation role that represents officers in misconduct proceedings. The hearing took place over 28 September to 9 October 2026, and the panel was chaired by former Commander Andy Brittain.

The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation

Dismissed for gross misconduct. The panel found the majority of allegations proved or partially proved: breaches of Authority, Respect & Courtesy and Discreditable Conduct at the gross misconduct level. The misconduct findings are internal disciplinary determinations, not criminal convictions.

According to the Met’s outcome summary, it was alleged that between October 2024 and January 2025 PC Souleiman made a number of inappropriate and sexual comments about colleagues and members of the public. He was alleged to have touched a colleague by embracing her and kissing her on the cheek. It was further alleged that he threatened violence towards those colleagues he believed had reported him — an escalation from comments and touching to intimidation of the people who had raised concerns about him.

The panel heard the allegations over 28 September to 9 October 2026. At its conclusion, chaired by former Commander Andy Brittain, it found the majority of the allegations of fact proved or partially proved, and determined that Souleiman had breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour in respect of Authority, Respect & Courtesy and Discreditable Conduct at a level of gross misconduct. The panel concluded that, in the circumstances, the only appropriate sanction was dismissal without notice. The Met confirmed Souleiman will be added to the College of Policing Barred List.

Public Reaction and Consequences

The Met published the outcome summary on its misconduct-outcomes pages, where officers dismissed without notice appear alongside the chair’s finding documents, making the case part of the force’s public disciplinary record. The summary’s framing — that sexualised comments about both colleagues and members of the public, an unwanted embrace and kiss, and threats of violence against putative reporters together amounted to gross misconduct — places the case within the Met’s ongoing effort to demonstrate that officers who abuse colleagues face removal rather than management action. No criminal proceedings were announced in the outcome.

Current Status

Souleiman has been dismissed without notice from the Metropolitan Police following the October 2026 hearing and will be placed on the College of Policing Barred List, the national register that prevents dismissed officers from joining any other force. The dismissal followed a hearing in which he participated and was represented; the panel’s findings on the comment, touching and threat allegations are the operative record. No appeal outcome has been published in the Met’s summary.

Impact on Their Career/Life

Souleiman’s policing career ended with a gross misconduct finding, dismissal and a barred-list entry that follows him to every police application in the country. The allegations’ timeline — a little over a year between the conduct and the hearing, with dismissal within nine months of its start — reflects the compressed pace the Met now applies to colleague-abuse cases. The published outcome means his name is permanently attached to findings of sexualised conduct toward colleagues and threats against those who reported him.
