Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has urged reform in the way police officers are held accountable for their actions, especially when using force or engaging in pursuits during their duties. Sir Mark expressed concerns about the existing system, which he believes is “long overdue for reform” due to several imbalances.
He welcomed Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s announcement of a review into the scrutiny of officers’ actions, highlighting the need for change in the Metropolitan Police (Met). In an open letter, Sir Mark emphasised that while progress is being made to reform the Met, the current system is not conducive to helping officers succeed in their roles.
