"We are taking immediate steps to ensure predatory individuals are not only rooted out of the force, but that vetting and standards are strengthened to ensure they cannot join the police in the first place," she added.
"Every day, thousands of decent, hard-working police officers perform their duties with the utmost professionalism, and I am sure they all share my disgust at his despicable betrayal of everything they stand for."Ms Braverman has also said she supports an effort launched by London Mayor Sadiq Khan to have Carrick's state-funded pension, reported to be £22,000 a year, forfeited.
The idea has also been back by immigration minister Robert Jenrick, who told Sky News:"This is one of the most egregious cases of police misconduct in the history of the Met, perhaps in the history of British policing.The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime has said it will submit a forfeiture request to Ms Braverman after Carrick's sentencing next month.
Such applications are usually made after a police officer has committed a crime while on duty, and pensions can only be blocked if the offending has been carried out in connection to their police service.PM promises police reforms, where he promised police reforms to make sure offenders have"no place to hide".
He told MPs the police must"address the failings" in the Carrick case and"restore public confidence and ensure the safety of women and girls".Carrick was formally dismissed from the Met on Tuesday for gross misconduct after pleading guilty to a total of 49 offences, including 24 counts of rape, over an 18-year period.
