>Although the report admits “most” of the offences were “not especially serious”, it notes they did include theft, handling stolen goods and wounding.

Are they actually doing any vetting? Or are they doing it and ignoring it? No one with a conviction for wounding should be a police officer.
The Metropolitan Police as an institution is unfit for purpose and needs breaking up.
