The Government recognises public concern around police vetting which is why the Home Secretary has recently commissioned Her Majestyâs Inspectorate of Constabulary Fire & Rescue Service (HMICFRS) to carry out an urgent thematic inspection of vetting and counter-corruption procedures in policing across England and Wales â including forcesâ ability to detect and deal with misogynistic and predatory behaviour.
Alongside this, the Home Secretary has also announced a two-part inquiry which will be able to look at the conduct of, and career of, the officer who murdered Sarah Everard as well as any wider issues across policing, including workplace behaviour and culture.
