At least she didn't take the coke and snort it herself - but this is dodgy practice for which a former #Essex #police #officer was rightly disciplined and barred.

#Drugs should have been taken down the station and a record made of the incident (even if suspect wasn't arrested) so its available for #safeguarding / #MentalHealth monitoring (someone who takes drugs and calls 999 on himself clearly isn't in his right mind!)

I do wonder if suspect was white and middle class, so officers didn't want to make a big thing of it as it didn't fit their stereotypes (and didn't want to deal with the paperwork of doing things properly?)
