United Kingdom’s Metropolitan Police Service has rekindled calls for urgent reform in the country’s largest police force, reports say. An active Metropolitan Police officer in London has admitted to forty-nine offenses, including twenty-four counts of rape committed over an 18-year period.
David Carrick appeared at Southwark Crown Court on Monday to enter a plea of guilty to four counts of rape, false imprisonment, and indecent assault against a 40-year-old woman in 2003, multiple sources reported. Carrick admitted to 43 charges against several other women, including 20 counts of rape, at London’s Old Bailey criminal court last month. These incidents occurred between March 2004 and September 2020.
The Met has issued an apology for his misconduct. Mark Rowley, the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, expressed regret and stated that the department had failed by allowing Carrick to become a police officer and promised to eradicate misogyny. He also said that they have “let women and girls down and indeed we’ve let Londoners down.”
The Met’s assistant commissioner in charge of professionalism, Barbara Gray, stated that they should have identified his pattern of abusive behavior and they had failed to do so. A senior officer stated that it was “unprecedented in policing.” Sleuths and criminology fans are paying close attention to the case.
When Carrick was detained in October 2021, he admitted to 24 counts of rape between 2003 and 2020 and was immediately suspended from duty. It is said that Carrick met some of his victims through online dating services like Tinder and Badoo. He then used his position as a police officer to win their trust. The Stevenage native would dictate to the women what they wore, what they ate, and where they slept and even prevented some of them from speaking to their own children. Carrick also admitted he had imprisoned victims and forced one into a small cupboard under the stairs.
One woman decided to report him and contacted the police in October 2021, because of coverage of Metropolitan Police officer PC Wayne Couzens. For the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Sarah Everard in September 2021, Couzens received a life sentence without the possibility of parole. The case horrified the country and sparked discussion about violence against women.
In 2022 Cressida Dick, the commissioner of the Met Police stepped down from her position after the Independent Office for Police Conduct issued fifteen recommendations “to change policing practice” in the nation.
