[size=+1]Met Police chief inspector sacked over sex and drugs boast[/size]
A Metropolitan Police chief inspector has been sacked after boasting on a dating website of committing a sexual offence and taking drugs.
He was also found to have used his position to advertise himself online to meet sexual partners while in uniform.
The officer was dismissed for gross misconduct after a two-day hearing.
The Met and the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) refused to name the 46-year-old officer, who was based in central London.
An earlier investigation of the chief inspector by Kent Police did not find enough evidence to press criminal charges.
The IPCC said he told website users he was a serving police officer who had committed crimes including drug-taking and a sexual offence.
He is the third Metropolitan Police officer to be sacked in a month.
An constable was dismissed for mishandling 999 calls, while a sergeant was fired after he indecently assaulted a "vulnerable" teenager while on duty.
