Overview

• Shafarat Mohammed, who joined Derbyshire Police in November 2021 and resigned in September 2022, claimed racial and religious discrimination after being asked to play a snog, marry, avoid game using images of suspects and sex workers.
• Employment judge Stephen Shore labelled the workplace quiz crass and said it could amount to sexual harassment, noting Mohammed did not pursue that specific claim.
• The tribunal concluded the game featured people of varied ethnicities and found no evidence of racial or religious discrimination or intent.
• The judge raised doubts about Mohammed’s credibility and dismissed additional allegations of humiliation and exclusion as inconsistent or unsubstantiated.
• The ruling brings to a close Mohammed’s employment tribunal claim and underscores calls for higher professional standards in police workplace culture.
