Danny Shaw: "This is the best of the Met: never letting up, pursuing criminals, using a range of techniques to solve the most complex of crimes. Over the years, I’ve met officers who’ve carried out investigations like these; their professionalism, dedication to duty and integrity have always stood out. Which is why I am struggling to understand how a police force which is capable of doing so much good can get it so catastrophically wrong, as it did with David Carrick: the police officer who has admitted dozens of rape and sexual offences against 12 women over two decades."

Surrey OPCC 18/1/2023 News Professionalism in Policing: Minding the Gaps Lucy D'Orsi QPM: This week, I am angry. Angry as another high-profile case of a police officer abusing his position to hurt women in such a calculated way, darkens the news. I won’t repeat the sentiments of my colleagues.

Carrick flew under the radar because opportunities to join the dots on his horrendous behaviour were missed. Vetting didn’t happen, allegations were dismissed, and incidents were treated in isolation. I commend the victims in this case for their bravery in coming forward and apologise that more wasn’t done. But the time has run out on policing’s apologies, and we must act decisively to bring about change. Women should be able to trust that if they report an officer or staff member for wrongdoing they will be listened to, and action will be taken.

Suella Braverman said the aim was to detect any officers or members of staff who were unfit to serve but had benefited from vetting failings. She said that police vetting obligations would be made “stronger and clearer” after Carrick was allowed to join the Metropolitan Police in 2001 even though he was a suspect in a domestic incident the previous year.
