Metropolitan Police placed in special measures by watchdog

  1. Does this even mean much? Interesting that Greater Manchester Police was put in special measures in 2020 just for failing to record 80,000 crimes not saying that isn’t serious but given how severe the met’s scandals are it might not be this big turning point.

  2. It is still going to take years for them to clean up though. Putting them in special measures does not really change the fact that there will be a sizeable number of officers who will need to be replaced and a complete change in culture introduced to undo years of poor practice in the force. Realistically, the Met will need to be rebuilt to recover from the extent of the damage Cressida Dick oversaw.
