What next for the Met Police after Casey review?
Not the measured, dispassionate and legalistic volumes most institutional inquiries deliver.
With forces across England and Wales, like the Met, re-vetting all their officers, more scandals will emerge.Accused of institutional prejudice, it seems unlikely that, in the short term at least, this report is going to make it easier to recruit women, or those from the LGBTQ+ community and ethnic minorities.
The report immediately adds that the Met is a very different organisation today. But five decades on, Louise Casey says: "We have found those cultures alive and well".So what is the answer?The report talks about reviewing progress against various measures after two and five years. Politicians are suggesting they will want to see results within two years.
As things stand, there is no blueprint for a reorganised system in England and Wales - and politicians of all stripes seem content to give Sir Mark the benefit of the doubt for the moment. What does progress look like? Public confidence figures must improve. Recruitment from minorities must increase. Corrupt officers must be identified and booted out. Vetting must be more effective. Whistleblowers must be supported. Morale must rise.
