Met must reinvent itself

The London Metropolitan Police recently underwent an independent review that found it to be “institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic,” as reported here. The Met Commissioner has accepted the findings though he questions whether the problems are institutional. Among the recommendations are getting rid of bad officers, stopping the recruitment of bad officers, culture change, and recommitting to policing by consent. According to the head of the UK’s Police Foundation, “My own view is that the Met is now in the last chance saloon.” The full Casey Review is here.
