Two enforcement officers have been sacked after threatening to pull someone's teeth out. Workers in Harrow were caught on camera, and a clip filmed by a man showed the officers accusing him of “trying to butt in”. The beginning of the confrontation is not shown, but footage shows the officers becoming increasingly aggressive.
One said: “I’m going to knock you the f*** out and rip your teeth out,” while another said: “We’re gonna make sure you can’t work no more and earn no more ‘cos you’re trying to butt in on our money.” The enforcement officers are believed to have been filmed using Google glasses.
He continued: “Bruv, do you know what I do to people like that? Come here now.” After being asked why they were becoming aggressive, one of the enforcement officers said: “I'm gunna show you what time it is. You're trying to mess with our money. If I call a police officer for you, he'll f*** you up, you know, 'cause we work with them.”
The officer added: “Do I come and disrupt your money when you’re painting and decorating? You f***ing wasteman. I’ll come and throw you through the f***ing walls bruv.”
LBC reports that the pair were hired by Kingdom Services Group and contracted by Harrow Council. Kingdom Services Group is contracted by organisations including Bupa, the NHS, Harringay Council, and Tesco.
A Harrow Council spokesman said: “Swift action was taken as soon as the incident and complaint were raised to us and Kingdom in May, and the individuals involved no longer work for Kingdom. We take any instance of officers deliberately turning off body-worn cameras extremely seriously. Threats of violence towards members of the public are wholly unacceptable and will not be tolerated.”
Kingdom Services Group also condemned the officers' conduct. A spokesman said: “We are aware of the video circulating in relation to the serious conduct of two Kingdom Local Authority Support enforcement officers. As soon as the incident and subsequent complaint were brought to our attention in May, swift action was taken. The individuals concerned no longer work for Kingdom Local Authority Support.”
