A review into the vetting of prospective police officers was commissioned following the murder of Sarah Everard by serving Met Police officer Wayne Couzens.
Mr Parr said that the pressure to meet the government's target to hire 20,000 new officers by March next year"cannot be allowed to act as an excuse" for poor vetting.
Ms Everard was killed by serving Met Police officer Wayne Couzens, who used his police warrant card under the guise of an arrest to kidnap her in March 2021.The review did not look into the specifics of Couzens' recruitment but its findings raise questions about whether improved security checks would have prevented him from getting a job with the Metropolitan Police.
It also said that better guidance was needed on conduct in the workplace and definitions of misogynistic and predatory behaviour.Home Secretary Suella Braverman said it was"disappointing that HMICFRS have found that, even in a small number of cases, forces are taking unnecessary risks with vetting".
