Hundreds of police face sack as part of clean-up

Hundreds of officers in London are likely be sacked for sexual and domestic abuse offences, Britain’s most senior policeman said on Tuesday as he
sought to regain public trust after an officer admitted being a serial rapist.
London’s Metropolitan Police (“the Met”), which has been rocked by scandals in recent years, was plunged into furthercrisis after David Carrick, 48, admitted carrying out 24 counts of rape over almost two decades while serving as a police officer while his colleagues missed chances to stop him.
The case follows a series of revelations of serious wrongdoing at the force, Britain’s biggest with more than 43,000 officers and staff and responsinbility for leading the country’s response to terrorism and issues such as extradition.
