(Picture: PA)The Assistant Metropolitan Police Commissioner has said the Met “takes very seriously” the suggestion that racism played a role in the strip-search of a Black schoolgirl in Hackney.
Louisa Rolfe, who has been tipped as a potential candidate to replace Cressida Dick as Met Commissioner, told a meeting of the London Assembly’s police and crime committee on Wednesday that the Met has accepted the findings of a safeguarding review and takes seriously issues of “inappropriate adultification of Black children” and “what that might mean in policing”.
