Former Metropolitan Police officer David Carrick was unmasked as one of the UK's worst sex offenders and convicted of crimes against 12 women over 17 years after police failed to investigate him on a number of occasions.
Four police officers and a staff member will face disciplinary proceedings after investigations into the handling of allegations against serial rapist David Carrick. The Met Police announced in July last year it was carrying out four independent investigations into what actions were taken after four reports of serious offending were made against Carrick between 2002 and 2021, while he was a serving officer. Carrick was eventually arrested in October 2021 and then jailed in February 2023.
regional director Mel Palmer said its investigation 'identified several missed opportunities to pursue misconduct investigations against him . 'Had these matters been progressed appropriately, Carrick may have potentially faced gross misconduct proceedings and been dismissed from the force well before he was eventually arrested.' Last year Carrick was sentenced to a minimum term of 30 years in prison for 49 violent and sexual offences, including 24 counts of rape.
said. Between 2002 and 2008, Carrick was also subject to five complaints from members of the public - these complaints included: rudeness, incivility, and the use of force. Carrick passed checks to become a firearms officer in 2009 despite a domestic incident five years earlier. He was also previously arrested on suspicion of rape in July 2021.
