Allegations of domestic abuse and sexual misconduct against serving police officers from January 2017 to June 2022

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.22.025664

I note you seek access to the following information:

I write to request the number of allegations of domestic abuse and sexual misconduct (including rape) made against serving police officers between January 2017 and June 2022.

As part of this, I would like the information to be broken down into the following:

1. The number of allegations of domestic abuse and sexual misconduct, (including rape) made against serving police officers each year - from January 2017 to June 2022, including a grand total.

2. The sex and gender of each officer against whom an allegation was made.

3. The number of allegations that were upheld and resulted in disciplinary action - including dismissal, and the number of allegations that were discontinued.

4. The number of officers against whom allegations were made are still serving police officers.

Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

Part of rebuilding trust in the Met is making it impossible for such behaviour to be seen as acceptable, telling the public where we have got it wrong and what we are doing about it, and removing officers who have behaved in such an awful way. The Independent Office for Police Conduct and others thoroughly scrutinise our actions.

The Commissioner asked Baroness Louise Casey to lead an independent and far-reaching review into our culture and standards of professional and personal behaviour. The review will ask difficult questions to ensure there are lasting improvements to the service we provide for all Londoners.

While this process is ongoing we recognise that we need to take urgent action to improve. We have already boosted the number of investigators in our professional standards department to strengthen our capability to root out people who abuse their positions of trust. Every Met employee has also been spoken to about professional boundaries and actively intervening and challenging wrongdoing.
