Her report is a damning assessment of Britain’s biggest police force
serving in the same Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command as Mr Couzens. Yet Lady Casey’s investigation vividly illustrates the scale and horror of the Met’s dysfunction. It describesThe failings are widespread. Unlike London, the Met is still “largely white and largely male”. Female new recruits currently resign at four times the overall rate, the review found. Austerity has damaged front-line policing, with especially dire effects on the way sexual offences are dealt with.
A former colleague once said of Lady Casey that no other civil servant would go down a crack alley to find out why someone is homeless. Her unusual route into the establishment may help explain that. She and her brother were the first members of their family to go to university. Her first job was on a reception desk at the Department of Health and Social Security .
That may not have been necessary. Lady Casey was particularly forthright at a press briefing for her review, railing furiously against some of the most shocking transgressions by Met officers who then remained in their jobs: they included an officer caught masturbating publicly on a train. In no other profession would that happen, she said. “It does your head in.”
Reports can be lauded and then quietly ignored, she said. But her recommendations for reforms—from new misconduct processes to changed governance structures—include checking some key measures after two and then five years. If the Met does not increase public trust, take more action on misconduct, increase charging rates and increase the diversity of its workforce it should consider radical restructuring. She would be watching carefully, she said. As ever, she means it.
