Overview

• IOPC investigators told the Met and Gloucestershire Police there is sufficient evidence to bring accelerated gross‑misconduct proceedings against 10 officers.
• The cohort includes eight serving Met officers—three sergeants and five constables—plus a former Met constable and a Gloucestershire constable who transferred from the Met.
• Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said hearings are expected by the end of the month following his request for early consideration.
• One police constable remains under criminal investigation for perverting the course of justice, and inquiries into a Met detention officer are ongoing.
• The Met says it suspended multiple staff within 48 hours, disbanded the Charing Cross custody team, replaced local leadership, and launched wider reviews across detention units.
