A police sergeant who was banned from football matches for "tragedy chanting" has been formally dismissed from his force.
Tyler Coppin, 29, from Colchester, pleaded guilty in court to a public order offence in connection with an incident at the Liverpool v Chelsea game at Anfield in October.
He has now been found to have committed gross misconduct at an Essex Police misconduct hearing.
Essex's Chief Constable Ben-Julian Harrington said: "If officers are responsible for upholding the law, it cannot be right that they break it."
