THE Met must root out officers "unfit to wear the badge", ministers said today after killer cop Wayne Couzens was convicted of indecent exposure and another officer found guilty of sexually assaulting a colleague.
MPS urged Mayor Sadiq Khan and new commissioner Sir Mark Rowley to "get a grip" on the force and prevent violence against women and girls.
Minister for London Paul Scully told the Standard: "What Wayne Couzens has done is horrific. Not just the murder of Sarah Everard but all of the other revelations that have come out of it.
"It's right that Sir Mark Rowley roots out police officers who are not fit to wear the badge. The vast majority of Met Police officers must be frustrated and appalled that their excellent work has been called into question.”
Couzens was yesterday sentenced to 19 months for indecent exposures in a Kent woodland and at a McDonald’s between November 2020 and February 2021 when he was a Met officer.
