Hundreds, possibly even more, serving police officers could be corrupt in England and Wales, a new damning watchdog report has revealed.
His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services found that decisions to clear police staff and officers and allow them to work in the police forces were ‘questionable at best’ in 131 of the 725 cases it looked at across eight different police forces.
One man who applied to be a special constable, an officer who works on a volunteer basis, was cleared and allowed to work despite having been put on a 12-month supervision order for indecent exposure as a child.
The chances of someone like Sarah Everard’s murderer Wayne Couzens getting a job as a police officer would have been ‘clearly reduced’ if measures to improve the screening checks had been put in place earlier, the inspector of the constabulary Matt Parr said.
