MPS officer convicted of stalking to face misconduct hearing
A Metropolitan Police Service detective attached to the force’s Directorate of Professional Standards is to face an accelerated misconduct hearing after being convicted of stalking a fellow officer.
Detective Constable Timothy Fory, 34, was convicted of stalking following a trial at City of London Magistrates’ Court last month.
He was sentenced at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday (10 August) to a 12-month community order, 150 hours of unpaid work and a five-year restraining order.
The stalking took place between July and September 2024 and involved repeated messages to the victim through WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, as well as following her at a social event. Fory was arrested four days after the victim reported his behaviour to police.
He was charged with stalking in February 2025 and suspended from duty.
Fory’s victim was also a Met detective. The pair had previously been in a relationship. The Met said Fory’s accelerated misconduct hearing would take place as soon as possible.
Detective Chief Superintendent Iain Keating, from Professional Standards, said Fory’s behaviour was particularly concerning because he worked in the directorate responsible for investigating misconduct and upholding professional standards across the force.
“DC Fory’s behaviour is a discredit to the thousands of Met officers who are committed to tackling offences against women and girls in London,” he said.
