HM Inspector of Constabulary Matt Parr said many officers had failed to declare “big red flags” such as “prior convictions” and “links with criminals that are too close and not explained”.
Hundreds of people have joined the police in the last three years who should not have been allowed in, the boss of HM Inspectorate of Constabulary has said.
“But where there is a question, where there is doubt, there should be measures put in place to monitor these people to keep a close eye on them, and that just is not happening either. Mr Parr acknowledged that public trust in the police, and particularly the Met force, is “at a low ebb” after violent crimes committed against women by serving officers such as Wayne Couzens and David Carrick.
Vetting procedures are also to be strengthened and all officers checked against national police databases.
