Officers charged/convicted for violence against the person or sexual offences

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.22.024302

I note you seek access to the following information:

1) Over the past year from 03/03/2021 - 03/03/2022 how many serving Met Police officers, including special constables, were charged or convicted at a criminal court for the offence types 'Violence against the person' or 'Sexual Offence'? (Appreciating that Centurion does not use the categories 'Murder, Assault, ABH, GBH'.)

2) Also, how many officers convicted of any offences are still employed by the Met Police?

Decision

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

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

Q1 - Over the past year from 03/03/2021 - 03/03/2022 how many serving Met Police officers, including special constables, were charged or convicted at a criminal court for the offence types 'Violence against the person' or 'Sexual Offence'? (Appreciating that Centurion does not use the categories 'Murder, Assault, ABH, GBH'.)

MPS answer: 47 officers

Q2 - Also, how many officers convicted of any offences are still employed by the Met Police?

MPS answer: 112 officers.

Please note this total is based on cases where a conduct matter is also generated and includes cases that are subject to internal misconduct proceedings that have not yet concluded and may result is an officer being dismissed.

Additional Context/ Advice

We take any police-perpetrated abuse incidents extremely seriously and they are regularly scrutinised at a senior level.

Any allegation, disclosure or abuse perpetrated by an officer or member of staff is robustly investigated. Tackling violence and sexual offences is a priority for the Met, and that includes when our own officers or staff are accused of these. We will not hesitate to bring forward prosecutions and disciplinary procedures where there is evidence to do so as the public rightly expect the highest standards from our employees.
