The Metropolitan Police is bound by duty to serve and protect civilians. However, a 2021 incident involving one of their constables has cast doubts on whether law enforcement can still be trusted.
This year marks the fifth anniversary of the death of Sarah Everard, the 33-year-old woman who was kidnapped, raped and strangled to death by a constable named Wayne Couzens. Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley is very familiar with that case and understands why women are still unsure whether police officers can still be trusted.
