A large-scale review of over 300,000 UK police officers, staff, and volunteers reveals nine criminal investigations. Initiated after high-profile cases like Wayne Couzens and David Carrick, the exercise checked records against a national database. Details of alleged wrongdoing were scant due to privacy concerns, but sexual assault is mentioned. The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) oversaw the review, leading to 88 discipline investigations, 139 vetting reviews, and 128 requiring management intervention. Despite lower-than-expected figures, the NPCC emphasizes the importance of trust in the majority of the police force.
