A leading Welsh politician has called on the home secretary to take Gwent Police into special measures.
The Welsh force, which covers south east Wales, has been embroiled in multiple scandals in recent years. Just a few months ago several senior officers were sacked for committing gross misconduct with one officer found to have inappropriately touched a woman. Over the last two weeks there have been horrific revelations from the Whatsapp messages of a deceased officer which showed officers sharing racist, sexist, and misogynistic messages.
