Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said the force had 'let women and girls down' by failing to stop David Carrick in his tracks, and apologised to his victims
Carrick, an armed PC, served in the parliamentary and diplomatic protection unit of the Met.The Metropolitan Police's commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has apologised for the force's failure to stop serial rapist David Carrick in his tracks, saying "he should not have been a police officer".
Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said the force had "let women and girls down" by failing to stop Carrick's actions, and apologised to his victims. "I apologise to all of David Carrick's victims. And I also want to say sorry to all of the women across London who feel we've let them down" Sir Rowley continued: "We failed as investigators where we should have been more intrusive and joined the dots on this repeated misogyny over a couple of decades."These failures are horrific examples of the systemic failures that concern me and were highlighted by Baroness Casey in her recent review. I do know an apology doesn't go far enough, but I do think it's important to acknowledge our failings and for me to say I'm sorry.
Describing the findings as “long overdue”, London Mayor Sadiq Khan welcomed the outcome, noting the police "simply must do more". Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has already said he believes hundreds of corrupt officers that should have faced the sack are still serving within the force.
