The MET have been told they are not able to sack staff who fail the vetting scheme.
The Sgt in question is not someone I'd like to meet in a dark alley or anywhere else.
Whilst I understand there has been no charges against this man, the sheer amount of allegations is scary. Is every woman lying?
Clearly they Met believe he is unsafe around women.
I wonder how many officers are on this type of 'gardening leave'?

It seems like a lot of money wasted for no output.
Why can they not put in a contract clause that would bypass this insanity?
