You could pause at any one of the 363 pages in Baroness Louise Casey’s report and find a detail, case study, or quote so extraordinary and chilling that you need reminding this is written about London’s police service.
There’s the officer who tried to kill herself after being raped by a colleague, before having to remain on the same team despite pleas to her supervisors. Incidents of dildos being placed in coffee cups, people being urinated on in showers as part of initiations, the time a Sikh officer had his beard cut because another thought it was funny and a Muslim officer encountering bacon left in their shoe.
