David Carrick Loses State-Funded Met Police Pension After Conviction

The former Metropolitan Police officer, convicted of multiple sex offenses, will forfeit 65% of his pension, a decision backed by London's Mayor and the Home Office.

• David Carrick, a former Metropolitan Police officer convicted of crimes against 12 women, has been stripped of 65% of his state-funded pension.
• The decision to strip Carrick of his pension was made following a pension forfeiture application by the London Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime to the Home Office.
• Carrick, who was jailed for at least 30 years, will still receive 35% of his pension, which constitutes his personal financial contribution.
• The forfeiture is based on Home Office guidance that applies to officers convicted of crimes committed in connection with their service.
• London Mayor Sadiq Khan and the Home Office supported the move, citing a serious loss of confidence in the police due to Carrick's crimes.
