Met police chief says some serving officers need to be removed amid David Carrick fallout

Sir Mark Rowley says force has not dealt with its own integrity with the ruthlessness that it deals with criminals

• PC David Carrick revealed as serial rapist
• One woman’s act of bravery exposed officer’s abuse and Met failures

The head of the Metropolitan police has said some serving officers need to be identified and removed as he deals with the fierce fallout of the conviction of serial rapist David Carrick.

Carrick, an elite Metropolitan police officer, waged a campaign of terror and humiliation against women for two decades, committing 48 rapes to become one of the worst sex offenders in modern history. The process of sacking him from the force starts today.
