(Picture: PA Archive)More than 170 serving Metropolitan police officers are under investigation for alleged domestic abuse, the Evening Standard can reveal.
Figures from City Hall show that a rising number of police are subject to inquiries. The Standard reported in February that 147 officers had faced allegations of domestic violence against their spouses or partners in the last two years, with just eight per cent of those charged with a crime. Currently 173 serving Met officers have outstanding accusations against them at “different stages” of investigation, according to the Greater London Authority.
