Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley says hundreds of officers should be sacked for misconduct and criminal behaviour
The report's author, Baroness Louise Casey, said the Met's misconduct system was too slow, with cases taking an average 400 days to resolve. She also described it as racist and misogynist.
She said a rule that allowed probationers to be sacked more easily was not being used fairly, with black officers 126% more likely than white recruits to be subject to what is known as Regulation 13. Asian officers were 123% more likely that white to be fired.Wayne Couzens, who was a serving Met officer, is serving a life sentence for the murder of Sarah Everard
This interim report looked at the force's misconduct system because it was considered the most urgent part of her brief. Dame Louise said in an official letter to Sir Mark:"The misconduct system is not delivering in a way that you, I, your officers or the public would expect it to."In his reply Sir Mark said:"The evidence is clear: the disproportionate way in which you have showed us black and Asian officers and staff have been treated shows patterns of unacceptable discrimination that clearly amount to systemic bias.
