The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is launching investigations into the conduct of 10 current or former police officers and staff over their handling of allegations against serial rapist David Carrick. Carrick, who was sentenced to life in February for a series of violent sex attacks against 12 women between 2003 and 2020, had abused his authority as a police officer to commit these heinous crimes.
The IOPC is specifically looking into five serving Metropolitan Police officers, including a detective constable, detective sergeant, detective inspector, and two chief inspectors, who were informed this month that they are under investigation for gross misconduct. Additionally, a former Met officer now with the City of London Police force and two retired MPS officers—a former police constable and former superintendent—are also being investigated for gross misconduct.
