Fairness and respect...Sir Mark Rowley

Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley apologised for what he called the “reprehensible and completely unacceptable” behaviour of some Charing Cross police station officers.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct is to launch an inquiry into nine serving officers, one former officer and a designated detention officer for potential gross misconduct. The nine still in the force have already been suspended.

One constable is under suspicion of perverting the course of justice.

Officers were secretly filmed making sexualised comments and sharing racist views about immigrants and Muslims.
