EXCL - Met chief: lie detector tests for new recruits. Tough-talking top cop vows to clean up the Yard.
WARNING: Met Police commissioner Sir Mark Rowley compared the force to a house in danger of falling down
Dick had been hit by a string of racism scandals including horrific language shared on a WhatsApp group by cops at the Charing Cross branch and the strip-search of Child Q. Last month, independent investigation commissioned by the government following the rape and murder of Sarah Everard by Wayne Couzens, a serving Met officer, found applicants with criminal records or with family ties to organised crime were being cleared to join the force.
He said: “I know we haven’t made anywhere near as much progress as we ought to have done and that creates challenges, particularly with black communities where we have the most difficult relationship because of the challenging history we have. “It’s a bit like that for me, I have to find a way of fixing that and be really vigorous about that. But then be equally vigorous about how we tackle issues of crime that concern communities.”
“Because probably when they’re 16, or 17, and they’re now men of violence, it’s probably only going to end in one way in terms of prison.”
