Met Police Launch Over 700 Investigations Following Anti-Corruption Hotline Tips

The Metropolitan Police's anti-corruption hotline has led to significant action, with more than 700 investigations initiated in its first 18 months.

The Metropolitan Police have initiated over 700 investigations after receiving nearly 3,000 contacts through an anti-corruption hotline.
The hotline, run by the independent charity Crimestoppers, allows for anonymous reporting of police misconduct across all UK forces.
High-profile cases, including the murder of Sarah Everard by Wayne Couzens and the unmasking of David Carrick as a serial rapist, have spurred the initiative.
An independent review highlighted missed opportunities to identify and address misconduct within the force, underscoring the need for the hotline.
The national rollout of the hotline aims to restore public confidence and ensure accountability within the police force.
