Operation Hotton investigations found evidence of discrimination, misogyny, harassment and bullying involving officers at Charing Cross Police Station, London
and homophobia, as well as numerous messages about domestic violence, plus sexually explicit, misogynistic and demeaning conversations.
The report, which issued the force with 15 learning recommendations from its findings, concluded: “We believe these incidents are not isolated or simply the behaviour of a few ‘bad apples,’” hinting at a wider culture of sexism, misogyny and threatening violence within the force.: “We are deeply sorry to Londoners and everyone they have failed with their appalling conduct and acknowledge how this will damage the trust and confidence of many in the Met.
“The Met is an institution that is supposed to uphold the law and protect women and girls from violence. It’s no wonder women do not feel confident to report crimes committed against them”
