It's completely reprehensible. Um, as
soon as we got the letter from the
Panorama program a couple of weeks ago
um detailing some of the um content that
they had um we suspended 10 officers and
staff and we're now working with the
independent office of police complaints
who we invited in to work as quickly as
possible to get them out the organ get
on get them off the payroll. They're
suspended. They're not anywhere near the
public anymore but I want them off the
payroll and gone as quickly as possible.
Uh, Commissioner, you've been in the job
for three years. You were brought in in
the wake of Sarah Everard's murder and
you promised to to change the Met.
Uh, but our footage in which Met
officers called for immigrants to be
shot and reveled in the use of force
shows you've failed. How can you say
you've been doing enough to change the
force?
We've done an extraordinary amount.
We're partway through the biggest um
counter corruption initiative that
policing has ever seen in this country.
We've removed nearly 1,500 men and women
from the organization. It's 557 removed
last year. Most of that stands on the
brave men and women in the organization
who really care, who are reporting their
colleagues for behaving disgracefully.
We've cleared out an awful lot of the
problem, but there is still more to do.
I've not said that we're through it. Um,
it's going to be a relentless task and
we're all absolutely determined to give
Londoners the policing they deserve in
every case, not just in the majority of
cases. It's helpful that BBC um brought
this to our attention and we will follow
through ruthlessly on that. What the
program I think also shows is and you
see some of the commentary there where
people talking about they're afraid of
our professional standards departments.
They're hiding their behavior. Um, and
we're now diving deeper into the
organization, having cleared out an
awful lot of people, diving deeper into
the organization to find these corrupt
and toxic networks and clicks. Um, we're
using counter terrorism tactics. We're
using specialist data and uh and
intelligence tools to identify and find
them. And we're going to be putting even
more support around our whistleblowers
who who who step forward to make sure
that we can finish the job off that
we've made such big progress on. But
London is watching this. I completely
get it. You're going to be upset and
angry that police officers are uh that
this group of police officers have got
such toxic views.
After you took over Baroness Louise
Casey said in her review that the Met is
institutionally racist and misogynistic.
Uh you've refused to accept that given
the BBC's evidence. Were you wrong? I've
been really clear that we have long-term
systemic problems in the organization
that go to culture, history of culture,
history of leadership, the regulatory
framework around us. There's a whole
range of factors that means that there
are systemic issues that have to be
rooted out. But we're also an
organization that is showing its
absolute determination to do that. The
fact that 1400 men and women in the last
couple of years have stepped forward and
made these reports is indicative of
that. The fact that we've rooted out
more than any police force has ever done
before is indicative of that. And I know
you want to draw me on on the words. I'm
using plain language because we're
practical people. The thing that's going
to make a difference is not words. The
thing that's going to make a difference
is the action. And it's the ruthless
action and relentless action that we're
taking week in and week out as we're
identifying and throwing these people
out of policing. Meanwhile, the front
door matters. We've doubled the failure
rate at our point of entry to the
organizations. We're making far tougher
and more robust vetting decisions. So,
we're not um adding to the problem in
the future.
Well, you say that they're just words,
but people will feel that uh how can you
remove racism and misogyny from the
force if you don't accept the
institutional nature of the problems?
We're showing how we can do that. I say
we've removed 15, we've removed 1500
people. Some commissioners in the past
have used that language, some haven't.
That hasn't fixed the problem. What
we're doing is fixing the problem,
removing record numbers of people,
putting our top um counterterrorism and
organized crime detectives in charge of
doing that and using their covert
tactics, using every tactic possibly
available to u to remove those people as
well as creating the safe environment
for whistleblowers to come forward as
they are doing in record numbers. But of
course, there's more to do that. You can
see in this program that um there are um
some of the comments overheard by
colleagues who are angry and upset and
clearly they didn't step forward because
I think they were seeing sergeants
behaving badly and they were nervous
about stepping forward. So, there's
still more we can do on that, but I'm so
proud of all the officers and staff who
have stepped forward and made a
difference so far, and we will keep
bearing down on
