US EditionLondon police force pledges to reform following report accusing department of racism, misogyny, homophobia
- The Metropolitan Police Service in London is facing a significant challenge in removing officers who have breached standards or were improperly vetted before being hired. There are currently about 1,000 officers suspended or on restricted duties, with around 60 officers facing disciplinary hearings each month.
- An independent review found that the police force had deep-rooted issues of racism, misogyny, and homophobia, which had led to a loss of public confidence. To address this, the department has implemented leadership training, increased the number of female officers trained to carry firearms, and focused on hiring more women and minority officers.
- The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police has pledged to reform the department but admitted it will take years to fully address the misconduct and improper vetting issues. The force has dismissed a significant number of officers for gross misconduct in recent months and is making progress in changing the department's culture.
