Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has vowed to use counter-terrorism-style investigation techniques to root out racism and corruption following a 'ghastly' BBC Panorama exposé of officers at Charing Cross police station. The undercover documentary revealed serving officers making racist, misogynistic and anti-Muslim remarks, boasting of excessive force, and dismissing rape allegations. Nine serving officers, a former officer, and a detention officer are under investigation for gross misconduct. Sir Mark described the revelations as 'reprehensible' and compared corrupt officers to tumours which must be cut out. He said AI tools would help detect misconduct by analysing phones and behaviour patterns, adding that nearly 1,500 staff have already been removed in the Met’s 'biggest anti-corruption clear-out in history’. Leadership and staffing changes have already been made, with further disciplinary action expected. While Sir Mark rejected claims of institutional racism, critics insist deep systemic reform is still needed to restore trust in policing across London.
