The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Mark Rowley, has promised to root out “corrupting behaviours” which he said had gone “unchallenged,” following an independent review by Baroness Louise Casey, a former Victims’ Commissioner.

In her interim report, which was published on Monday, Casey said: “We heard many examples of unacceptable behaviour going unchecked for long periods, including cases where officers had lied on their vetting, failed their exams, and been involved in misconduct issues and were still not being removed.”
