By Press Association 2021 Coronavirus – Wed Dec 2, 2020 A group of 31 police officers are facing £200 Covid-19 fines for getting their hair cut by a barber while on duty at a police station. The Metropolitan Police said that the officers all had trims from a professional hairdresser at Bethnal Green police station on January 17. They are all facing £200 fines and the two officers that organised the event are under investigation for potential misconduct. Local policing commander Detective Chief Superintendent Marcus Barnett said: “It is deeply disappointing and frustrating that my officers have fallen short of the expectation to uphold Covid-19 regulations. “Although officers donated money to charity as part of the haircut, this does not excuse them from what was a very poor decision. I expect a lot more of them.
