Latest updates: force’s commissioner Mark Rowley pledges to clean up police as evidence shows ‘concerns’ over handling of cases

Metropolitan police commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said there are “sex offender cases” and “some serious violence cases” in the list of 161 officers with criminal convictions.

Sir Mark told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme: “I think the current policy is too permissive and leaves too much ground for interpretation. There’s certainly some people when I looked at the list and thought, ‘Crikey, that’s not right’.”
