A hotline is being rolled out across the UK today - after it received 3,000 tip-offs prompting 700 investigations since it started a year and a half ago in the capital.
The figures for the Metropolitan Police were revealed on Thursday as the police anti-corruption and abuse reporting was implemented across the country.The Met first started using the service in November 2022, after many distressing scandals, such as Sarah Everard being murdered by serving officer Wayne Cozens, and ex-Pc David Carrick being revealed as a serial rapist.
In November, Lady Elish Angiolini's independent review found multiple "red flags" that were missed about sex offender Couzens.In 2023, Met Police Commissioner Mark Rowley reported that two to three criminal cases against officers would be expected to go to court per week for many months.
