Read past the headline, which is generated from a phrase put to me by the journalist, not my own. You'll see I have got faith in Mark Rowley's leadership to turnaround the Met. Also other views on the criminal justice system and politics in here. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…

Top police chief says Met has no ‘God-given right’ to exist without public trust

Martin Hewitt, outgoing NPCC chair, says new leader deserves time to turn things around after series of scandals

Messages from a former Health Secretary revealed last night seek to give an impression of direct pressure and control being exerted by ministers on policing action during the pandemic.

In addition, the language of the former Health Secretary and use of the word ‘plod’ is much more a reflection on him than it is on the committed police officers and staff on the frontline protecting the country from Covid-19.

Last night’s attack on Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell was shocking and horrific. My thoughts remain with John, his family, and colleagues at @PoliceServiceNI and beyond. Know that all of us in the policing family support you, and are here for you at this difficult time.

It is yet another dark week for policing. But it’s nothing compared to the decades of pain and trauma suffered by the victims of David Carrick and others who should never be in uniform. This is a week for them, for them to be heard and for their courage to be commended [THREAD]

That means more troubling details emerging. There is no quick fix, but this is the only way we can be sure of ridding our organisations of criminals, misogynists, racists and anyone who discriminates.

We know the trust in policing that has been lost will only be rebuilt by the public seeing the results of our action in the coming months and years.

I feel shame that someone like David Carrick was ever allowed to put on a police uniform. I commend the bravery of all his victims for coming forward to ensure he was brought to justice.

It is dependent upon us as a police service to root out abusers and misogynists with urgency, fully and for the long term. I reaffirm that police chiefs are determined to do that.

Anyone with concerns about serving police officers, no matter how small, I urge you to report your concerns to the police so we can root out anyone who does not deserve to serve the public.

"Strengthening police culture so it is more inclusive, better at listening and involving the public in its decisions and has the highest professional and ethical standards is as important as our crime fighting." #PoliceConf22 @MHewittNPCC's words in full: orlo.uk/GDInJ
Where we struggle to explain action we are taking or where it is not having a positive impact, we need to reconsider it. But, if we are accused of being woke when taking action that we know is effective in building trust, with people where that increased trust is needed, we must stand tall, champion and defend that action.

Today's #PoliceConf22 summit speech by @MHewittNPCC was his last as NPCC Chair, as in April next year his four-year term comes to a close. His words were candid and frank - read everything said here: orlo.uk/fuuOS
But I have also experienced some of my darkest moments as a police officer. I have repeatedly felt shame at hearing the actions of some individuals in our service and deep regret that we didn’t get these people out sooner.
