The pressure on Met Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick intensified today, as Sadiq Khan revealed that the time she has to turn things around could be measured in “days and weeks”.
The Met’s woes are well-documented, and it now faces two separate investigations. The first, an independent review led by Baroness Casey, will consider the force’s culture and standards, following the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police officer. The second, chaired by Dame Elish Angiolini QC, will scrutinise the Everard case as well as wider issues facing policing.
