The Home Secretary has set out next steps to strengthen vetting of police officers following the David Carrick case.

This will make sure chief officers are taking the necessary action to remove those who are not fit to serve. The Home Secretary confirmed yesterday that Lady Angiolini will also look at the specifics surrounding the David Carrick case as part of her inquiry. This will help identify anyone who has slipped through the net before vetting standards were toughened and ensure those who are unfit to serve can be rooted out.

Two people died within 24 hours in Skagway over the weekend. Illicit drug overdoses are suspected in both cases.

In Haines, emergency Narcan kits have been distributed to the library and local bars. “There is protection under the law for people trying to get help. The Skagway Traditional Council also has Narcan available. “We will be sending them off to the crime lab to get a confirmation of fentanyl. “Drugs being brought into the community is done in a sophisticated manner, I think far more sophisticated than many people realize. Skagway’s Dahl Memorial Clinic has special bags designed to make the disposal of potentially dangerous drugs safer. The department released a photograph of the confiscated pills on its social media page on Sunday. But Cremata said they are looking for help from the community. And the color coding is corresponding within everything that they have seen,” Reddick said. When they see something that is obviously drugs being exchanged, or a person that they know well who’s exhibiting behavior like they may be on drugs, that’s why we have the tip line,” he said. And we responded to the scene again, did life-saving measures and were unable to obviously save his life. “It can be anonymous or you can give us your name through that.

The Met's failure to investigate David Carrick shows how little changed even after the murder of Sarah Everard. It's time for radical reform, says Harriet ...

We have known for some time that there has been a culture of impunity for such offending by police officers, with recent reports showing a woefully deficient vetting and misconduct system, and a largely unchallenged culture of misogyny in some sections of the Met. Some have argued that these cases show we should defund the police, but such a proposal could only ever lead to an escalation of crimes against women. The revelations of misogyny and serious criminality against women by police officers have become frighteningly commonplace. At that time we were looking at a sample of 19 cases from police forces across the country. In the wake of the case of David Carrick – a police officer who this week In response to Carrick’s conviction, she stood up in parliament and called for that [inquiry to be put on a statutory footing](https://www.centreforwomensjustice.org.uk/news/2023/1/17/cwj-statement-on-angiolini-inquiry-and-former-home-secretary-u-turn), so that it could examine the wider issues of violence against women within the Met police.

While I was serving as a police officer, my daughter was one such victim and the wildly botched handling of the incident caused much unnecessary additional strife for her, me and the rest of my family. From the state-sponsored abuses of the [spy cops scandal](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/oct/28/secrets-and-lies-untangling-the-uk-spy-cops-scandal) to the murder of Sarah Everard and the arrest of those at her vigil, the police have failed to deal with misogyny in their own ranks. A common feature, however, was the sometimes terrible handling of rape complaints. The focus is on the Metropolitan police now, but misogynistic culture in policing is a global challenge for these male-dominated institutions. This means more women in politics, digital regulation of online misogyny and access to violent pornography, legislative and judicial shifts to focus on perpetrators rather than victims/survivors, and early years education to halt abuse before it starts. Systemic abuse of power by police is increasingly the norm rather than an exception.

David Carrick rape case prompts call for all officers to be checked against national police databases.

There has to be an attitude of misogyny in the police force that is allowing all of these cases not to be prosecuted. He told Sky News: “The forfeiture of the pension is a matter for the mayor of London but we support his efforts to remove that pension, if indeed that is what he chooses to do.” “The major issue regarding matters getting to court is that police officers are not referring allegations of rape to the CPS. “Some of your answers here today appear to be not an impartial assessment of the police but actually a defence of police,” he said. But misogyny is a societal issue not just a policing issue,” Cooke said. Carrick, known to colleagues as “Bastard Dave”, humiliated his victims, branded them “slaves” and locked some in a cupboard under the stairs for hours without food.

The is one part of the government’s work to tackle police culture and standards following recent high-profile events, including the appalling case of David Carrick, which have shattered public confidence in policing. She was also concerned that officers from ethnic minorities are disproportionately represented in the misconduct system. The government is clear that there is no place in our police forces for officers who fall seriously short of the acceptable standards of behaviour and are not fit to wear the uniform, and police forces must root out these officers to restore the public’s trust.

He told the BBC: “We have been too weak on this, systematically, for some time.”

New policy after Carrick scandal would bring police in line with teachers under future Labour government.

The Met apologised on Monday after it emerged that nine incidents involving him had been brought to the police’s attention between 2000 and 2021, including allegations of rape, domestic violence and harassment. She said: “The home secretary must show leadership and take urgent action to change the way that rape and domestic abuse allegations are dealt with in the police. “Most people would be horrified to learn that police officers who are accused of rape are not automatically suspended pending an investigation. “Ministers promised us things would change after the awful murder of Sarah Everard. He was later returned to full duty after the allegation was dropped, before being again accused of rape by a different victim. He had been allowed to continue to work as a police officer despite multiple allegations.

Is police reform enough? Or do we have to dismantle and re-think an institution which may not truly 'protect and serve' in the way that it is supposed to?

This reality has meant that for a long time Black people and working class people as well as other marginalised communities have seen the harsher nature of a police force which wasn't invented to protect their interests. These apologies are meant to placate the public, but do nothing to highlight what will be done to tackle the rotten culture that allows for officers like Couzens and Carrick to prosper. I think, where previously many would have been at a loss to understand the root of these unjust statistics, now there's more of an idea. [IOPC has stated that ](https://www.policeconduct.gov.uk/news/iopc-statement-following-pc-david-carricks-guilty-pleas)they are [not planning any investigations that could lead to disciplinary action being taken against any other officers](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jan/17/no-met-officers-facing-disciplinary-inquiry-over-david-carrick). How could Carrick have gotten away with these offences for so long and it not be brought to the attention of his superiors in one way or another? This meant that for decades, marginalised communities that called out the heinous violence of the police were often silenced and ignored. On the other hand, maybe these apologies aren’t just placatory. I am personally considering whether this is a sordid system that protects the acts of men like Carrick by suppressing as many accounts of violence against women as possible. We, the public, have now become privy to the fact that Carrick, 48, is the most recent police officer to be exposed for heinous crimes. [protecting property and maintaining class divide](https://dsa-lsc.org/2020/07/30/a-quick-look-at-police-property-and-privilege/). This was a problem for many reasons.

It follows David Carrick admitting dozens of rape and sexual offences as a serving Met officer.

It dealt with 410 such cases over roughly a five year period to October 2021. Police Scotland is not bound by College of Policing guidance, but it said it was "right that policing is held to high standards". Police Scotland went on to announce it was developing a new strategy to tackle violence against women and girls following events such as the murder of Sarah Everard. "The onus is on policing to build and maintain the public confidence and consent which is critical to our legitimacy and for our ability to keep our communities and citizens safe. Ms Wilson, who is now chair of the Women's Rape and Abuse Centre in Dundee, said the Met had been "very slow to react" and said Police Scotland "needs to be getting round the table and doing that scrutiny now". In 2021, after the murder of Sarah Everard, Police Scotland reviewed its approach to complaints that had a sexual element. He said: "All those who abuse their power as a police officer to commit crime are abhorrent and should be investigated and prosecuted to the limits of the law. "This is a difficult task to undertake and many of those who commit crime while serving as a police officer do so in private and maintain a secrecy in their actions." A spokesperson said it would consider further action to "support our drive to maintain the highest standards within Police Scotland". The head of the watchdog overseeing Police Scotland said he would be "very surprised" if the force had rogue officers like Carrick among its ranks. Police Scotland said it was "watching developments". Police Scotland could look "stupid" if it does not step up the vetting of its officers, a former chief has said.
