'There are people who have racist views and are racist and they are in policing. But what I won't do is describe the organisation as a racist organisation.'
The culture of London's Metropolitan Police force has come under close scrutiny, with Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick resigning after London Mayor Sadiq Khan said he was not satisfied with her response to the scale of the cultural change required.
The two black officers interviewed by Newsnight said there needed to be changes among the Met's senior leadership to root out racism and misogyny. Mr Javid, who is responsible for professional standards, said there was "absolutely no room for racism in policing, especially here in the Metropolitan Police".
When he raised a complaint, he said the Met Police "put more pressure on the victim than the accused".
