Met Police investigating 800 officers over sexual and domestic abuse claims
The Metropolitan Police commissioner said the force was investigating 1,000 sexual and domestic abuse claims involving about 800 of its officers., including dozens of rapes.
A spokesman for the prime minister said high-profile cases such as Carrick's had "shattered" the public's trust in policing."We have failed. And I'm sorry. He should not have been a police officer," he said. Sir Mark said: "This man abused women in the most disgusting manner. It is sickening. We've let women and girls down, and indeed we've let Londoners down. The women who suffered and survived this violence have been unimaginably brave and courageous in coming forward.
"I do understand also that this will lead to some women across London questioning whether they can trust the Met to keep them safe. "We haven't applied the same sense of ruthlessness to guarding our own integrity that we routinely apply to confronting criminals," he said.
