A serving Metropolitan Police officer, Sergeant Chris Allonby, has been terminated without notice due to a campaign of coercive control and harassment against an acquaintance.
Sergeant Chris Allonby, affiliated with the Metropolitan Police’s South West Command Unit, was terminated after a disciplinary hearing that finished on Tuesday, June 10.
Sergeant Chris Allonby was discovered to have abused his former spouse in 2018 and 2021, both incidents occurring while off-duty.
The panel was informed that Sergeant Chris Allonby was a verbally and emotionally abusive relationship, exhibiting a history of undesirable behaviour towards his ex-partner, in addition to committing bodily assaults.
Detective Chief Superintendent Christina Jessah, who leads policing in the area, said:
“Sgt Chris Allonby exhibited consistently unacceptable and wholly inappropriate behaviour. It is right he faced disciplinary action and is no longer a part of the Metropolitan Police Service.
“We commend the bravery of his ex-partner, who spoke up and enabled us to take action.”
The panel found the officer had breached the standards of professional behaviour relating to authority, respect and courtesy, and discreditable conduct. His actions amounted to gross misconduct.
Sergeant Chris Allonby will now be placed on the College of Policing’s barred list, banning him from employment with the police, local policing bodies, the Independent Office for Police Conduct or His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services.
