Police forces told to check for rogue officers who ‘slipped through the net’ after David Carrick rape case
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
POLICE forces have been asked to check all officers against national police databases to identify suspected sexual predators following the sacking of serial rapist David Carrick.
The Home Office said on Wednesday that the measure will identify those who “slipped through the net” before vetting practices were toughened up.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman has also asked the College of Policing to strengthen the statutory code of practice for police vetting, making the obligations all forces must legally follow stricter and clearer.
