In response, Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has diverted approximately 90 officers from serious crimes like tackling organised crime and counter-terrorism to focus on internal standards and cleaning up the police workforce. Sir Mark believes there are hundreds of corrupt officers serving in the force who should not be in the job, and that this issue needs to be resolved as urgently as possible.
The force is carrying out a series of reviews of officers and staff to weed out those who should not be in the job.
