They are treated badly, or face counter-claims from those they have accused," it said. "We have a real problem here. "Far too many Londoners have now lost faith in policing to do that." The 363-page review also said an "absence of vigilance" meant that "predatory and unacceptable behaviour has been allowed to flourish". But she noted: "The tougher thing is to ask the organisation to change its culture and to do a better job." Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that what was happening inside the Met was "simply shocking and unacceptable" and that "there needs to be a change in culture and leadership".

London's Metropolitan Police is institutionally racist, sexist and homophobic and could still be employing rapists and murderers, a scathing independent ...

A scathing review has revealed just how institutionally discriminatory the Met police are, including homophobia, sexism, and racism.

“I accept her diagnosis about the racism, misogyny and homophobia in the organisation, and also that we have these systemic failings and cultural failings.” Additionally, a reluctance to increase diversity in the force has led to a culture that avoids questions of diversity and inclusive recruiting. “Attempts to improve diversity in the Met are not succeeding, the Met’s response to discrimination is wholly unsatisfactory.” Baroness Casey wrote. “Met has only reluctantly accepted discrimination and has preferred to put this down to a minority of ‘bad apples.'” “We have identified institutional homophobia, misogyny and racism, and other forms of discrimination in the Met,” Baroness Casey wrote in her review. Following her appointment, Baroness Casey said the report would be a “difficult task” but that it was owed to “the victims and families this has affected.”

The review by Baroness Casey, commissioned in the wake of the murder of Sarah Everard, is “rigorous, stark and unsparing”, she said. | ITV News London.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman told the Commons: “Discriminatory attitudes and homophobic, racist or misogynistic behaviour have no place in policing. “There are too many places for people to hide. I say 'good luck' and I support him until until he proves he's not doing what he's paid to do." The reforms are of a “significant scale” and “on a par” with the “transformation of the Royal Ulster Constabulary to the Police Service of Northern Ireland” at the end of the last century. The report called for a “complete overhaul” of the Met and a “new approach to restore public trust and confidence”. It is the police’s job to keep us safe as the public. Sadly as this report shows we've got hundreds of toxic individuals who need sorting out and I've been really forthright about that." The report concluded there are “systemic and fundamental problems in how the Met is run” and that the problem with the force is not its size but “inadequate management”. It said there is a culture of denial in the force and a “we know best” attitude. The review said that Londoners had been “put last” with the loss of police commands for each borough, and that the English capital “no longer has a functioning neighbourhood policing service” in the wake of the changes. He's taking it on the chin, he's saying we're gonna go back and look at these cases that have been covered up. She said: "I've spoken to him on numerous occasions and…

The institutional racism, sexism and homophobia of the Met goes deeper than one force—it's the police that's the problem. By Charlie Kimber.

“Despite the Met saying violence against women and girls is a priority, it has been treated differently from ‘serious violence’. “Female officers and staff routinely face sexism and misogyny,” the report said. Relatives of the victims have called for a public inquiry into the force in the wake of the report. Casey’s report lifts the lid on some aspects of policing and undermines the Met’s reputation. Casey called for the Met to “change itself”, adding, “It is not our job as the public to keep ourselves safe from the police. The report described how a lunchbox was found in the same fridge as rape samples, which would have contaminated the evidence. There are racist officers and staff and a “deep-seated homophobia” exists in the organisation, it found. It is the police’s job to keep us safe as the public. But she said she would wait to see what action the force takes in the coming weeks and months. That took place after Stephen Lawrence’s murder and the abject failures in how the Met investigated his death. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said he accepts the “diagnosis” of prejudice in the force. The Metropolitan Police has failed to protect the public from officers who abuse women.
