The Metropolitan Police is 'institutionally racist, misogynist and homophobic', a damning review into the force, which was commissioned following the murder of Sarah Everard, has found.
Britain’s biggest police force was found to have failed to protect the public from officers who abuse women, such as Ms Everard's killer Wayne Couzens and serial rapist David Carrick, who both committed their harrowing crimes while serving as officers. The chair of the inquiry, Baroness Louise Casey, said she could not be sure that they are not more officers like them currently serving in the capital's force.
The report said that organisational changes in the Met Police have put women and children at greater risk and found that female officers and staff routinely experience sexism. It also found that there are racist officers in the force and a “deep-seated homophobia” existing in the organisation.

Baroness Casey's 363-page report lays out a series of grave concerns about the Met Police’s culture and standards. Describing her findings as “rigorous, stark and unsparing”, she said she hopes they will lead to a fundamental change in the force.
Here are some of the key findings and recommendations, and the response so far to the damning review.
The review found widespread bullying, with a fifth (22 per cent) of staff and officers with protected characteristics experiencing bullying, and a third (33 per cent) of those with a long-standing illness, disability or infirmity.
There is “deep-seated homophobia within the Met” – almost one in five lesbian, gay and bisexual Met employees have personally experienced homophobia and 30 per cent of LGBTQ+ employees

Emily Longeretta Brian Tee is stepping into a new role. On March 29, the actor will make his directorial debut on NBC’s “Chicago Med,” the medical drama that he starred on for eight seasons as Dr. Ethan Choi. He made his final appearance on the ninth episode of Season 8, which aired December 7. Although this is his first time directing, he’s been interested for years. When he landed the show in 2015, a friend gave him a piece of advice he carries with him: “It’s gonna be an amazing experience and a wonderful ride.” “I took that to heart. In Season 2, I started shadowing directors,” Tee tells Variety. So, when he chose to walk away from the show in 2022, he made a request to direct. “It was not necessarily an easy yes. I’m sure there’s a bit of a hesitation. But I think everyone has known that I’ve been wanting to do this. It wasn’t just something new, out of the blue. It’s been something I’ve been working toward. So I asked, ‘If I’m going to come back and do nine episodes, I would love to come back and direct one.'”
