Sir Mark Rowley was responding to figures that show 150 officers are currently under investigation over allegations of sexual assault and racism.
=========================================
This is and needs to be extremely worrying and drastic actions need to be taken to change this not only for the safety of everyone but for the reputation of not only the Met police, but for every police force throughout the UK.
We were all for years brought up to trust and believe in the Police and for many of the UK population our Police could not do any wrong.
I was on Jury Service many years ago and I heard someone say why should the Police lie, well now we know that they do, hopefully only in a minority of occasions, but how are we to know.
Over the years it has been shown to be that it is not only the Police who endeavour to do cover ups, but in many other professions even in Parliament and the Government, but then who believes any politican.
But there has to be safeguards in any profession and they have to be seen to be effective, for to not leads to anarchy and very soon to the complete breakdown of Law and Order, with no trust anywhere.
We are supposed to be a democracy with the belief all are equal, but money and assumed power, talks and leads to forms of supremacy which are not good at all.
All aspects of the UK need to be accountable and it be easy to enact accountability to all.
Trust needs to be earned and so does respect, for in many instances what is seen as respect is, in reality, fear.
Human Rights also need to be respected.
