Investigation launched after then serving officer raped and murdered Sarah Everard in March 2021
Calling for a complete overhaul to restore the trust of Londoners, Baroness Casey said the Met, without change, should be stripped of its national functions including oversight of counter-terrorism.
The latest saw David Carrick last month sentenced to at least 30 years in prison for raping and sexually abusing 12 women over 17 years. Carrick and Couzens served together in the Diplomatic and Parliamentary Protection Unit – which Baroness Casey identified as a “dark corner” of the force. There was evidence of widespread bullying and discrimination against minority groups on the staff. “Female officers and staff routinely face sexism and misogyny,” it said.
“It rings hollow, doesn’t it, to say your top priority is violence against women and girls when ... they have trainee detectives carrying caseloads of 20 rapes,” Baroness Casey told BBC Radio 4′s TodayThe review called for the creation of a dedicated women’s protection service, a new children’s strategy, and the reinstatement of sexual and domestic abuse services as specialist functions.
