Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said last October that the number of officers and staff being sacked was ‘massively under-engineered’.
Britain’s biggest police force still has hundreds of serving officers who should have been sacked, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner has said.
Speaking at an event at the Policy Exchange think tank on Monday as he nears a year in the job, Sir Mark told attendees there is currently no way to sack officers who fail re-vetting. Force figures for the year to the end of June 2023, released after a freedom of information request by the PA news agency, show the number of officers charged with criminal offences has remained steady.
He said: “The IOPC and CPS in my view fail to follow the same charging standard for police officers as they do for the wider public, dragging innocent officers through years of stress.”
