00:01Undercover in the Metropolitan Police.
00:17This is an off-duty police officer
00:19saying what he really thinks about immigrants.
00:31Two and a half years ago,
00:33the Met was found to be institutionally racist,
00:36homophobic and misogynistic.
00:42I paid money to go to clubs and see women dressed like this.
00:46The force says it's changed.
00:49We've been undercover to see if it has.
00:53We filmed officers who don't appear to believe women
00:56when they report being victims of crime.
00:59Yeah, she's pregnant.
01:00Trying to get a vote.
01:01It's when it's not on.
01:03That's what she says.
01:05Officers displaying racist and discriminatory attitudes.
01:09Islam is a punk.
01:10A serious punk, I think.
01:12Muslims hate us.
01:14Fucking hate us.
01:16And revelling in the use of force.
01:18He's gone.
01:19He spoke, right?
01:20He's just gone.
01:24And his car's fucking scared.
01:27Evidence of a toxic culture that,
01:29far from being driven out of the Met,
01:31has just been driven underground.
01:35Who can I fucking trust here?
01:38Some of the new joints.
01:41You've got to figure them out.
01:43Don't fucking talk us all into a fucking big complaint.
01:46This is the story of seven months undercover
01:49inside the Metropolitan Police.
01:52It feels like watching a TV drama about bad cops,
01:56but this is real.
01:58Stanley Police Station!
01:59We are in a police station.
02:02Welcome to Charing Cross.
02:17In the heart of London.
02:19Right next to Trafalgar Square.
02:23Charing Cross Police Station.
02:30My colleague Rory's going undercover.
02:34Recording what he finds using specially built secret cameras.
02:40What are you doing, mate?
02:41Yeah, all good.
02:43He's got a job as a designated detention officer.
02:46It means he's part of the Met, but not a police officer.
02:50So you walked through the door of a custody suite.
02:53What was it like?
02:55Sometimes very little was going on.
02:57But Thursday, Friday, Saturday night,
02:59it can just liven up and go from zero to a hundred like that.
03:02What do you mean you've got your pen?
03:03Pen tight!
03:05Good afternoon.
03:07Come on, man. Move on.
03:09Hello, Charing Cross.
03:11Charing Cross has one of the Met's 22 custody suites.
03:14It operates 24 hours a day.
03:17It's where arrested people are processed and held
03:20until they're taken to court or released.
03:22I've made the vote today.
03:25They're not fucking the vote.
03:27They're today.
03:31Can you speak to a sergeant?
03:32They're all busy at the moment.
03:35Can I pass on a message for you?
03:39Before he started working here,
03:41Rory was given seven weeks training by the Met.
03:44Working in custody can be really tough.
03:47The team have to deal with difficult and sometimes violent people.
03:50What the fuck?
03:52What the fuck?
03:53What the fuck?
03:54What the fuck?
03:55Understand me, yeah?
03:56We're not playing all the games, you know.
04:00There are people with mental health problems.
04:04Some are on drugs.
04:06So you just wanted some crack right here?
04:08There are people with mental health problems.
04:09Rory's duties include making sure detainees are fed and watered.
04:14Bring the buzzer for anyone else, yeah?
04:16Above all else, his job is to help keep them safe.
04:21The Met employs more than 33,000 police officers.
04:30Rory's job in Charing Cross allows him to observe without joining their ranks.
04:37You're welcome, mate.
04:44Running the custody suite are sergeants.
04:47Officers in charge day to day.
04:50On each shift there are usually three of them.
04:52The welfare of anyone who's arrested and detained in a police station,
04:57the buck stops with the sergeant.
04:59They authorise the detention in the first place, it's on them.
05:02That's their job.
05:04They're also responsible for upholding values and ethical standards.
05:09Sergeant Joe McIlvenny and Sergeant Robinson are two of the three in charge today.
05:13This officer is telling them about a rape allegation that's being investigated.
05:27Two male suspects have been arrested and booked in by another sergeant.
05:32She already got the first time.
05:35It was happening.
05:37She's gone back to sleep, lapsed out whilst it's still happening.
05:40And then she's woken up at 11 at the end of the morning.
05:43And then she was by herself then.
05:44Was by herself and was like, why have I got no child in my neck as well?
05:47I did not take it as well.
05:49I've got to be honest, I've gone to there before and can't remember to take that child as well.
05:55The sergeants don't appear to be taking the rape allegations seriously.
05:59And she's woken up momentarily.
06:03Yeah.
06:05Then passed out.
06:06Yeah.
06:07That's all she's got.
06:08Well, she does give them some description, hasn't she?
06:10Yeah, but that's of one.
06:11She's been unconscious.
06:13Maybe one of them might be orange with green hair, obviously.
06:16Yeah.
06:18And then to lump her.
06:19Yeah.
06:21It's hardly tall enough.
06:29Shame on you!
06:31Shame on you!
06:32Shame on you!
06:33Shame on you!
06:35Four and a half years ago, the Met was accused of failing to prioritise crimes against women and girls.
06:42A Metropolitan Police Officer has been arrested in connection with the disappearance of Sarah Everard in South London.
06:48It followed the rape and murder of Sarah Everard by serving police officer Wayne Cousins.
06:55The Met commissioned an independent report into its behaviour and culture.
07:01Baroness Louise Casey concluded the force was institutionally misogynistic, homophobic and racist.
07:08There is, without doubt, a discriminatory culture right across the Metropolitan Police.
07:17The Met is not able to assure all of us that its officers are of sufficient integrity and standards to be serving police officers.
07:28So it needs to clean itself up.
07:31Sir Mark Rowley, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, didn't accept that problems in his force were institutional, but he promised change.
07:41I understand her use of the term institutional. It's not a term I use myself.
07:46I'm absolutely determined that on my watch, we are slowly reducing the risk that we have people in the organisation who don't have the integrity the public would expect.
07:55It's not a term I use myself.
07:58Whistleblowers have told Panorama that the Met still has a problem with misogyny and racism.
08:04And pointed us towards Charing Cross Police Station.
08:08Cheers, man.
08:10What a bitch, man.
08:12In your handcuff, right?
08:14I'll bet your mum.
08:15I'll bet you not. No, no, no, we've got to suck your mum.
08:19The sergeant booking the man into custody is Joe McIlvenny.
08:22He's an old hand with nearly 20 years service in the Met.
08:27Perfect brave now.
08:29Like a handcuff brave, isn't it?
08:31Right, let's see if you like that when the handcuffs come on, can we?
08:36A woman's just been brought in.
08:39Arrested for being drunk and disorderly.
08:42She's wearing a fancy dress police uniform.
08:46Sergeant McIlvenny seems particularly interested in her.
08:49Awesome.
08:51She's wearing a leather police outfit.
08:54Stop it.
08:56Where can I come?
08:58Stop it.
09:00I paid money to go to clubs and see women dressed like this.
09:04That's Sergeant McIlvenny making the sound of a siren as he heads to where the woman is going to be searched.
09:15He's going for it.
09:18I've just never seen him react that way to an arrested person being brought into detention.
09:27He shot up from his seat, he looked on the CCTV monitor and then he went down to the cage to oversee the search of the woman.
09:35It made me feel uncomfortable.
09:38What was your impression of what he was doing?
09:40It just felt really seedy.
09:42The next day, Sergeant McIlvenny tells Rory and a female colleague about a woman he says he met online.
09:48The language he uses is very crude.
09:52She turns out and then the door opens.
09:56I think it's not just Colin Chandler.
09:58I think it's not just Colin Chandler.
09:59I don't want to do that again.
10:00Booms the door almost by.
10:02Homestress.
10:04Anyway.
10:06Sergeant McIlvenny.
10:08That's the real one and then the fat one now.
10:13It was weird.
10:15He had this way that the conversation could be about what you had for breakfast and he'd turn it into a conversation about sex.
10:23I mean, I've watched the footage. How often was he like this?
10:27It was relentless.
10:28When he was on shift, there was a very high chance that there would be a comment like the comments I filmed him make.
10:37Sergeant McIlvenny tells Rory and his female colleagues how he gets sexual pleasure from having his nipples played with.
10:44He's at work and this is a custody suite.
10:47He says he wants his nipple pierced and asks a female colleague who's told him she's had it done for advice.
11:12Then he goes even further and starts talking about masturbation.
11:17Yeah.
11:18I was thinking, right, because my pain tolerance goes up massively at the same time.
11:25So I'm going to ask.
11:28What do you reckon?
11:30You might be like, darling, see you.
11:32How's he done?
11:34Yeah, I'm not going to cry.
11:36Imagine!
11:39He's been in the door almost by.
11:42Homestress.
11:43Sue Fish was the temporary chief constable of Nottinghamshire Police and has agreed to view our evidence.
11:52He's absolutely vile, his attitudes and behaviours.
11:59And the standard that he's setting for his shift and his team is absolutely despicable.
12:09Sue Fish spent her career in the police, retiring after 31 years of service.
12:15When I joined the police in the mid-80s, the sergeant was held to be the pivotal person.
12:21They still are.
12:23They set the tone for the shift.
12:26Earlier in her career, she ran misconduct hearings for officers accused of wrongdoing.
12:31What I've seen and heard from this sergeant, it's completely inappropriate, very misogynistic.
12:46I think it puts anyone else, male or female, that's junior, in an invidious position.
12:52Going down.
12:56Please mind the door.
12:59To investigate police culture, Rory needs to spend more time with officers.
13:04Inside the custody suite, they're usually busy, so he chats to them when they're on a break.
13:10I'd go out to the yard, which is like the centre of Charing Cross Police Station, where everyone smokes.
13:16I didn't find it hard to speak with people.
13:19What's difficult is to build relationships enough so that you can establish a level of trust with them.
13:26What are you doing? You're going for sure!
13:30Which one of them came home to respond?
13:32And the next one of them, let me see you, isn't it?
13:35The yard is where police officers bring arrested people before booking them into custody.
13:42It's also where they get a bit of downtime.
13:45This is PC Brian Sharkey.
13:48Never heard any complaints about it for a few moments.
13:52Get that now, yeah mate!
13:55PC Sharkey is one of the longest serving officers Rory meets.
14:00Rory asks him about the job.
14:02It's a good job, but when we talk anyone out of it, I'll make sure they have their eyes fully wide open for their fucking enjoyment.
14:08And they're going to give a fuck a whole lot of grief.
14:10Just to do it in the right place.
14:12He's got a toe leg.
14:13We know he's up to no good.
14:15Yeah.
14:16We don't find anything on him.
14:17Oh, you're stopping me because I'm black, or you're stopping me because I'm this,
14:20stopping me because I'm that.
14:22And he has got all the mouth full of shit from him.
14:25After several chats, Rory gets himself invited to the pub with PC Sharkey and his team.
14:32I'm sorry, Brian.
14:37I'll see you now.
14:39Sexual offence.
14:41Complaints again.
14:43Oh no, no.
14:44Oh, I'm going to get accused.
14:45I'm not going to do it then.
14:47At least we're a penny even so far, Brian.
14:53Rory's been told an officer's been disciplined for tucking in another officer's shirt.
14:59The team appear to be joking about it.
15:02PC Sharkey's on his first pint.
15:04Now you're down for a sexual sock, not as well go down for a late.
15:08Sorry about that one.
15:12He has some whiskey.
15:13There he is.
15:14Nothing.
15:17Put all the back of your head.
15:19That's a bit.
15:21That's something you want to say about that.
15:24What can I fucking trust here?
15:27You look like a newborn.
15:30I was like a newborn.
15:31I can't.
15:34Then one of the other officers starts talking about another incident.
15:38PC Sharkey shuts it down.
15:41The guy that pissed somebody.
15:44I will.
15:46I'm not talking about that.
15:48I was going to shut the fuck up.
15:50See you, Mr Chief.
15:52Trust is hard won here.
15:55Officers are cautious until they get to know new colleagues.
15:58When you go out there's someone new, especially on team, you don't know.
16:03You have to reset, you have to put the mask, you're speaking tactile.
16:07And then when you get on with her, it sums off.
16:10And then the real you comes out.
16:11Yeah.
16:12You know what I mean?
16:13Someone new joins.
16:15You've got a bigger amount that you can and can't say.
16:18That conversation says, right, new person, mask goes on.
16:21What impression did you get coming away from that?
16:24My overall feeling was we've got a mountain to climb here because the level of secrecy is, I didn't realise how deep-rooted it was.
16:30I didn't realise how hard it was going to be to break into this culture.
16:33They're all holding back all the time unless they're absolutely certain that they can trust you.
16:37Back in the yard, Rory's trying to get to know more officers.
16:44What's your name anyway? I've never caught it.
16:46I'm Rory. Nice to meet you.
16:47Nice to meet you mate.
16:49PC Martin Borg says he's been with the Met for five years.
16:54I would say about 95% of people are compliant on arrest.
16:58Two and a half percent are mad.
17:01The other two and a half percent are actually trying to get away, trying to fight you.
17:04Yeah.
17:05Do you enjoy the scraps?
17:06Yeah. Big time. That's why I joined the job for, mate.
17:07Yeah.
17:08100%.
17:09Bonesy, mate.
17:10100%, mate.
17:11Legal fucking scraps any day of the week.
17:14That's why I joined the job.
17:16Nick people.
17:17And to get in scraps.
17:21To get further behind the mask, Rory tries a new approach.
17:26He says he's thinking about becoming a fully-fledged officer.
17:30PC Borg offers to take him on patrol.
17:33Martin seems to take me under his wing and he's one of the first officers that I really built a connection with in Charing Cross.
17:42All officers are required to follow standards of professional behaviour laid out in law.
17:50They're part of the police conduct regulations.
17:54One of the rules says officers must act with fairness and impartiality.
17:59They do not discriminate unlawfully or unfairly.
18:02If any of these rules are broken, officers can face serious consequences, up to and including dismissal.
18:10In the car with another officer driving, PC Borg describes what he dislikes about London.
18:19London are full of selfish people who are simply closed-minded.
18:24They're only interested in themselves.
18:26Well, what makes London different to the other things?
18:29Nothing popular.
18:30Yeah.
18:31What do you mean?
18:32Different cultures.
18:33The culture in the county has filled ye olde British.
18:36To a linear extent.
18:38Here it's a different type of British.
18:40It's a melting pot British.
18:42Yeah, it's the...
18:43The officers chat about religion and then start talking about Islam.
18:48It always makes you laugh, like, you know, it's a very bizarre.
18:52Don't eat, talk, or...
18:53Do you drink?
18:54Yeah.
18:55Do you smoke?
18:56Yeah.
18:57Do you gamble?
18:58What's the fucking difference then?
18:59You know, you...
19:00Yeah, and that's fine, but you're a fucking hypocrite.
19:03Rory tells them there's been a mix-up with the food served in custody.
19:08We've been serving non-halal food by accident in custody for the last few weeks.
19:12They didn't tell anyone.
19:13Really?
19:14They changed the whole menu and they didn't tell anyone.
19:21How open was he about his views?
19:23Martin would indicate that he had certain beliefs, certain views,
19:28specifically around Muslim communities in London.
19:31There was still an element of him that was quite guarded.
19:37The custody suite at Charing Cross has 24-hour surveillance, video and audio.
19:45Every cell, every corridor, and the custody desk is monitored.
19:51It's supposed to keep detainees and staff safe and can be used as evidence in court.
19:56It's on his head.
19:58It's on his head.
19:59It's all private.
20:00No, I'm not.
20:01Look how he's forced to fill in here.
20:02Don't try to.
20:04Rory's supervisor, Sergeant McIlvenny, has authorised the detention of this man,
20:09arrested for possession of a flick knife.
20:12Officers need to search him to check he has nothing else on him,
20:15but he resists.
20:17So the search is done by force.
20:18Right, straighten the mattress.
20:20Don't try and spit me dirty bastard.
20:23Stand on the floor.
20:24Lift up.
20:25Well, do as you fucking call, then.
20:26Do you understand?
20:27He's there, being restrained on the floor.
20:28I just see McIlvenny just draw back and punch into the back of the guy's hamstring.
20:29Do you understand?
20:30Well, do as you fucking call, then.
20:34Do you understand?
20:36He's there, being restrained on the floor.
20:39I just see McIlvenny just, draw back and punch into the back of the guy's hamstring.
20:44You feel up?
20:45Up?
20:47Up.
20:48What do I do?
20:50You have the opportunity, all right?
20:53I mean, start doing these at all.
20:54Do you understand?
20:56Mm-hmm.
20:58They don't find anything else on him.
21:03Really surprised.
21:04What?
21:05That he hasn't got nothing on him.
21:07Really surprised.
21:09I saw a little dig in the back of the leg.
21:13Oh, no, that was when I was trying to fold over.
21:15Yeah.
21:16Make sense, accept.
21:19Sergeant McIlvenny ushers Rory into a corridor,
21:22away from the cameras and microphones in custody.
21:25He wants a quiet word.
21:29Be careful, be me for your support.
21:31Mm. Sweet.
21:32Ah.
21:33That's all.
21:34Oh, OK.
21:35It doesn't sound right if it's playing back later on the other night.
21:39I hear you.
21:40Don't fucking talk us all into a fucking big complaint.
21:43I hear you.
21:44Yeah.
21:45Oh, I'm still learning.
21:46No, I don't know.
21:47Yeah.
21:48It's no biggie.
21:49It's not like, oh, fucking hell yeah.
21:50Oh, fucking smack in the bollocks, it's awesome.
21:53I hear you, man.
21:54Which you might see sometimes.
21:56Yeah.
21:57He tells you to keep your mouth shut, doesn't he?
22:00Yeah.
22:01There's a guy in the leg.
22:02I said dig to him at the time, but it was a punch.
22:04It just emphasises to me the level of caution people have about speaking in custody,
22:09because they know everything's being recorded.
22:11Later in the station yard, Rory talks to another of the three sergeants on duty, Sergeant Hume,
22:18about what happened.
22:19I said to Mike, I saw your little big mate, and then he pulled me outside and he was like,
22:24be careful because your camera's in custody, debrief and after incident.
22:26I was like, oh.
22:27What's going on?
22:28Yeah.
22:29Yeah.
22:30I want to say, oh, these are pretty, because I've been beaten up.
22:34Yeah.
22:35And it's all recorded.
22:37Be careful, be me, for your support.
22:40Oh, sweet.
22:41Ah.
22:42Don't fucking talk us all into a fucking big complaint.
22:46What message is sergeant skimming him there?
22:49Being told to keep his mouth shut, and that it's quite legitimate to beat up people who are in custody.
22:55Both those messages are deeply disturbing.
22:57And that's coming from his bosses?
22:59Yes.
23:00Yes.
23:01The idea is to use the minimum, and that's the legal requirement, that's the legal test,
23:04to use the minimum requirement of force necessary, not the maximum that you can get away with.
23:12Officers deal with some violent detainees and are allowed to use force.
23:17The standards of professional behaviour say it should be proportionate and reasonable in all the circumstances.
23:27Back in the yard, officers speak quite openly about their use of force.
23:34This officer says he likes hurting people in custody if they refuse to be fingerprinted.
23:40I love taking fingerprints by force, because I'm like, give me your fingerprints.
23:44No, I'm going to break your fingers if you don't get onto me.
23:46My mates are going, so how'd you take them by force?
23:48And when we grab their two fingers, and I put them down, and they went, yeah.
23:51And what happens if they don't?
23:52I said, well, you grab the other two fingers, and you pull really hard, and it snuff the tendon, and they go, oh.
23:58Oh.
24:01In the canteen, an officer Rory's just met, describes using force in the back of a police van on a man in leg restraints.
24:09I got over in the face five times.
24:13Five?
24:14Yeah.
24:15This wasn't quite enough.
24:16I got over in the face five fucking times, yeah, on the floor.
24:19The thing is, though, other than the last laugh, because when he's stood up in the van, wearing leg restraints,
24:23kept hitting his head on the top, started beating the shits up the back of his legs,
24:27and whacked the shits up the back of his legs, trying to get the drop to the floor to put him in.
24:30He's just smashing his head off the top.
24:32I was like, all right, fucking hell, fine.
24:34Fucking cave your legs in, then.
24:36If I must.
24:37I've never got to complain.
24:39It was always police brutality.
24:40We just fucking just, like, five or six strikes just fucking made.
24:45It wasn't a good look.
24:46It was definitely a little bit of redness there, but nothing came of it.
24:50Well, I'm sure you could justify it some way.
24:53I did, apparently.
24:58We don't know if these officers actually hurt people.
25:01Police officers worked a completely different shift pattern to me.
25:10Very often I'd go out on my lunch break at 2, 3 in the afternoon if I was on a day shift,
25:15and I'd just see police officers piling into the pub, and I'd be like,
25:19that's where the conversations are had, that's where you need to get in.
25:22Two weeks after they went out on patrol, Rory gets an opportunity.
25:27He meets PC Martin Borg in a pub.
25:30It's a chance for a longer conversation, away from the CCTV and the station.
25:37It also means it's over a few drinks.
25:40The day before, PC Borg had been involved in restraining a detainee.
25:45Open the door, threw him up against the wall, threw him on the floor,
25:48cut all his drugs off.
25:49But he just didn't look okay anymore, so we need to act like a fucking animal.
25:53Back in custody, Rory finds video of the incident PC Borg has been describing.
25:59But he can't access the audio.
26:01You can see PC Borg bottom right.
26:05The custody notes say the detainee's accused of multiple offences,
26:09including impersonating a police officer and attempted kidnap.
26:13They also say he's a suicide risk.
26:17No, it was quite funny looking out.
26:19Well, yeah, got the right Ross, and then he...
26:21What did you know?
26:22He kissed on the door.
26:24And he saw stuff his blankie down the toilet.
26:26Yeah.
26:27And Stampy come over and said,
26:28sweet, he's put a blankie down the toilet,
26:30do you want me to go in there and see what that gets mine?
26:31Yeah.
26:33PC Borg's talking about another custody sergeant,
26:36Steve Stamp, nicknamed Stampy.
26:41CCTV shows officers restraining the detained man on the floor.
26:46You can see Sergeant Stamp by the door.
26:49PC Borg describes what the sergeant does.
26:53And he's kicking out and Stampy's towards his lips.
26:55Yeah.
26:56Stampy's, I'm telling you now.
26:57He's got his foot right.
26:58He's just gone.
27:01And he's...
27:02You know, you see his own face and face?
27:03Yeah.
27:05And this guy's...
27:06Oh, Jesus Christ.
27:07What?
27:08Where'd he stamp on it?
27:09He doesn't think we're blocking it.
27:11Oh, that hurts as well.
27:12He's just...
27:13He's caught with his boots.
27:14Yeah.
27:15He had a lump on his foot,
27:16and we've got like a fucking tune of it.
27:18I've talked to him.
27:19I didn't stamp him all right to.
27:20Yeah, he fucking did that.
27:23CCTV shows Sergeant Stamp stomp down twice.
27:28He opened the door.
27:30Threw him up against the wall.
27:32Threw him on the floor.
27:33Cut all his toes off.
27:34No, it was quite...
27:35It was quite funny looking at.
27:36Funny.
27:38Funny.
27:40I mean, seriously, this is about summary justice.
27:43Brutal exercise.
27:44Literally brutal exercise of power.
27:45This is the sergeant setting the standard of behaviour,
27:49which is gratuitous violence.
27:52He's a part of the science of science.
27:53He's a part of the science of the science of science.
27:55behaviour, which is gratuitous violence, demonstrating a complete disregard for the law and all his
28:03training and his position as a sergeant.
28:05Sam Peet, yesterday, he knew the truth or something, but he kind of dealt with a safe
28:09space.
28:10He was like, he tried to kick me, I said, yes, I did, sir, I absolutely did, sir, I absolutely
28:16did, sir.
28:17I did, sir.
28:18Whatever you say, sir.
28:19He was like, thank you very much, Mike.
28:20That's how I put that name to Leventy, by the way, gosh, yeah, I'll clear out.
28:24An MG11 is a witness statement.
28:28PC Borg is saying he and Sergeant Stamp discussed writing one up, saying the detainee had tried
28:34to kick the sergeant during the restraint.
28:38It's not clear from the footage whether the man tried to kick Sergeant Stamp.
28:42He's got nothing on his feet and four officers were restraining him at the time.
28:47They're absolutely fine.
28:48Unbelievable.
28:49MG11, just for clarity, is a witness statement.
28:50I don't know whether he has put in his MG11, but if he has...
28:51With false information.
28:52With false information.
28:53With false information.
28:54And it can be shown to be false, then that would be perverting the course of justice,
28:56or conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, let alone the assault on the individual.
28:59That officer, he is so confident that no-one is going to blow the whistle on him.
29:06And that's the strength of the culture that means that people like him and Sergeant Stamp can
29:08perpetuate these sorts of behaviours.
29:09Police conduct regulations say officers should challenge the force of police
29:34Police conduct regulations say officers should challenge
29:39or take action against the conduct of colleagues
29:42which has fallen below the standards of professional behaviour
29:45Officers are also required to be honest and act with integrity
29:50This officer also took part in the restraint overseen by Sergeant Stamp
29:57Now, I heard Stamp did have me good kicking anyway
30:00Oh yeah, he did, yeah, he was a cunt
30:01Yeah, and when, you know, Stamp was doing whatever he was doing
30:05I was like, interesting, what places we've got here, innit?
30:07How many cover is it here?
30:10One, two, three, one
30:13That was sick
30:16But aren't they all? Aren't they all?
30:21They're up to six months
30:21Stamp is, I'm telling you, he's gone, he's gone, he's gone
30:25Dominic Grieve was Attorney General
30:29The government's principal legal advisor under former Prime Minister David Cameron
30:34He also agreed to look at our evidence
30:37Thank you very much, Mike
30:38That was how I put that in the sentence, actually
30:41In this country, we set up the police force to do policing by consent
30:47It creates a climate in which policing should then become easier
30:52The sort of misbehaviour that we saw is likely to make policing in the long run more difficult
30:58We've only filmed some officers at one station
31:02But any police misconduct can have serious consequences
31:06If the police misbehave, there is a high risk that if the case goes to court and the misbehaviour emerges
31:13It will reduce the chances of getting a conviction of that person
31:17Because there may be arguments over the way the evidence was collected
31:21Over the way the person was treated in custody
31:23Over whether any admissions that were made in interview were made under duress
31:29The justice system is dependent on police officers behaving fairly and properly towards the people they arrest
31:35Back at the pub, PC Borg's still talking about the incident in custody the previous day
31:41He doesn't know the detainee's nationality
31:45But says he thinks he came to the UK from Morocco
31:48Look at that what I was saying yesterday
31:51About how when the time is right, he's got to bring himself up
31:53And like, you know, we should hate all the British
31:56And like, we're not coming here because we like the country
31:58We're coming here because we've got to come and take over the country
31:59And I was like, mate, it's like we've got fucking Tory Robertson down on the road, mate
32:02You know what I mean?
32:03Like, you're fucking cunt
32:04Is it problematic the amount of like minorities
32:06Or like after minorities in like London
32:08Well, I challenge you when you're on shift
32:11To look at the list and see how many are in custody
32:13And I think there's your answer
32:14That's a simple answer
32:16Yeah
32:17Yeah, it's not about whether it's not about opinion
32:19It's about facts
32:20And the fact is, if you look at the list
32:22The cost of custody list
32:23Look how many names in there
32:25Then there's the answer
32:26Which of the most griefy do you reckon?
32:29Muslims? Really?
32:31That's not
32:31Hates us
32:32They fucking hate us
32:33Proper hate us
32:34It's not a problem
32:36A serious problem, I think
32:37At this point, PC Borg's on his second pint
32:42Yeah, but I don't want to admit that
32:44Because it sounds racist
32:45That sounds, you know, all the other isms that you've got
32:47But it's just the truth
32:48Whether that's racism
32:50Ismophobia
32:51Homophobia
32:53Any of the isms
32:54They're too scared to be called that
32:56And they can't stand up for themselves
32:57Police standards say officers should behave in a manner
33:02Which does not discredit the police service
33:05Or undermine public confidence in it
33:07Whether on or off duty
33:09Anything they say or do that breaches the standards
33:13Wherever it is
33:15Can lead to disciplinary proceedings
33:17Doesn't matter whether you're down the pub
33:20Letting off some frustration
33:21You're a cop
33:23You have to behave differently to other people
33:28There is a debate to be had about immigration
33:30But to see a police officer
33:32In essence, agreeing with division and hate
33:34Feels deeply distressing
33:38Policing often is times of high stress
33:41And in times of high stress, you revert to type
33:43A bigger, better you doesn't suddenly appear
33:45If you're a mean, narrow-minded bigot like he is
33:49I will kill myself
33:50I will kill myself
33:50I will kill myself
33:51I will kill myself
33:52I will kill myself
33:52I will kill myself
33:52I will kill myself
33:53I will kill myself
33:54I will kill myself
33:55At the station
33:56Rory sees many police officers
33:58Doing the job professionally and with empathy
34:00I saw so many police officers
34:03Doing their job to the best of their ability
34:05And hats off to them
34:06Because, yeah, it's challenging
34:08The role of a police officer
34:10Is extremely difficult
34:11They're dealing with often really complex mental health needs
34:25Violent and confrontational people
34:28It's a dangerous job
34:29In the yard, officers are preparing to leave the station
34:35They're picking up a 17-year-old
34:38Who's run away from a residential home
34:40Where he's being cared for
34:42Officers say he assaulted colleagues and medical staff
34:45When they took him to a hospital after his arrest
34:48We'll call the teenager Jordan to protect his identity
34:52He's been in the hospital this whole time
34:54He's just going around
34:56Multiple officers
34:58Is that where all you go?
35:00Yeah
35:01PC Phil Nielsen says he's one of around 10 officers
35:05Going to collect Jordan from hospital
35:07Well, this guy comes here
35:09He'll be a constant notch
35:11Yeah
35:12The guy arrived
35:13Walked into custody
35:14He went to his cell
35:17He was put on a constant watch
35:19With two police officers
35:20And, to be honest, I thought
35:22That was the end of the story
35:23Jordan's custody notes say he's autistic
35:27And has mental health needs
35:29CCTV shows the teenager in his cell
35:34And officers standing outside
35:36Then they push Jordan back from the cell door
35:42After he throws a pillow at them
35:47They restrain him
35:48Next thing I know
35:52The panic alarm has been hit
35:53Everyone's up on their feet
35:55Running down towards the cells
35:56There's about five or six police officers
35:59At one point
36:02There are eight people involved in the restraint
36:04Sergeant McElvenny's stood up on the bench
36:10Looking over the whole situation
36:11And he was like
36:12I'm the safety officer
36:13Jordan is then held on the ground
36:17With his legs or arms restrained
36:19For around two hours
36:20A 17-year-old
36:24Who's apparently autistic
36:25And may have mental health issues
36:26Throws a pillow
36:27I mean, a thrown pillow
36:29I mean, seriously
36:30It just seems wholly disproportionate
36:32How are you, Phil, mate?
36:34Hey, how are you, Rory?
36:35Yeah, not too bad
36:36Mate, that juvie you brought in the other day
36:38Come on
36:39Come on
36:41Three days later
36:44Rory bumps into PC Nielsen
36:46He tells him more about what happened
36:49After he'd picked Jordan up from hospital
36:51Did you see him hit me?
36:53I didn't see him hit you
36:54Yeah, he fucking hit me
36:55In cell
36:56At the custody desk
36:58So...
36:59PC Nielsen says the teenager
37:01Kicked him at the custody desk
37:03Because while they were in the police van
37:05On the way back to the station
37:07He'd used pressure points on Jordan's legs
37:10He's just feeling straight
37:12Plunky
37:13Kicking me
37:13In my knee
37:14To be fair
37:15It's payback
37:16So before the job
37:17I've done the sports massage
37:18And that
37:18So I know of all the pressure points
37:20Yeah
37:20So while I'm in the van
37:21From hostels to here
37:22It's just out of the pressure points
37:24So...
37:25You evil bastard
37:26He assaulted so many officers
37:29He deserves it
37:30He deserves it
37:31He deserves it
37:32Seven weeks later
37:37PC Nielsen agrees to meet Rory in the pub
37:40But he's suspicious
37:42Half joking
37:45He says he's worried Rory's working
37:48For the Met's Department of Professional Standards
37:50Or DPS
37:51I'm getting...
37:53This is a stink
37:54This is DPS
37:55This is DPS trying to catch me on
37:56Or something
37:57I was actually thinking
38:02I ain't gonna come
38:03Because I can't get a contact
38:04It could be a stink
38:05Yeah, I know
38:05It's the first time I've met Phil socially
38:08From the moment I got there
38:10And he was asking me
38:11If I was wearing a wire
38:12If it was all part of a sting
38:14And like
38:16When you're sat there
38:16With like secret cameras
38:18It wasn't far away from him
38:19Coming over
38:20And patting me down
38:21But eventually he did
38:23Settle down
38:24PC Nielsen reveals more
38:27About the pressure points
38:28He says he used on the 17 year old
38:30How do they work?
38:33So obviously
38:34I always take foot legs
38:36Okay
38:37Because you're walking
38:38Every single day
38:39So you're always using your leg
38:40Muscles
38:40So obviously
38:41You've got quite a lot of tension there
38:42How long do you go for?
38:45When you're on that kit?
38:50I don't know why
38:51Pretty much not the whole journey
38:54But not the whole journey
38:56Because after a few
38:57Like 20 seconds
38:58You've come immune to it
39:00So you've just gone to the other one
39:01Get that one a rest
39:02And then go back to that one
39:04He's admitting to assaulting
39:06The juvenile
39:07Whilst in the van
39:09When he
39:10Presses on the pressure points
39:11Unlawful territory for me
39:14Then PC Nielsen
39:16Makes it crystal clear
39:17Why Rory's finding it so hard
39:19To find out more
39:20About some officers' views
39:22He echoes what Rory's heard before
39:25Decide carefully what you say
39:27And who you say it to
39:29Know you're proud
39:32Know you're proud
39:33So like
39:34I would say I feel comfortable with you
39:36That I can say some stuff
39:37That I'll be
39:38Out there
39:39And I will trust you to not go in
39:42Yeah
39:42This guy I feel you
39:43So I know you're proud
39:45Yeah absolutely
39:47I would never go in
39:48To someone that I didn't know
39:49Or in front of people I didn't know
39:50And say a comment
39:51That was like
39:52I know you're going
39:54I know you're proud
39:56PC Nielsen's onto his fifth pint
39:59He's still suspicious
40:01And holding back
40:02I was hoping you would say
40:04Something more controversial
40:06And they'd be like
40:06Oh yeah come
40:07Let's go for this
40:08What I'm seeing
40:11Is almost this sense
40:12Of those who are complicit
40:13And this sort of sense
40:15Of what's underground
40:16They're grooming people
40:18Into that circle
40:20Looking out for snitches
40:22I.e. people
40:22And police officers
40:24Colleagues
40:24Who are decent
40:26Who uphold the values
40:28Of policing
40:28As opposed to people like him
40:30Who absolutely don't
40:33Almost a year after
40:36The rape and murder
40:37Of Sarah Everard
40:38By a serving police officer
40:40The Met faced another scandal
40:42This time focused on
40:44Charing Cross
40:45Uncovered by the Independent
40:47Office for Police Conduct
40:49The police watchdog says
40:52It's found evidence
40:53Of disgraceful bullying
40:55Misogyny
40:56Discrimination
40:56And sexual harassment
40:58At Charing Cross
40:59Police Station
40:59In central London
41:01This investigation
41:03This investigation
41:03Lifted the lid
41:04On what a toxic culture
41:05Inside the Met
41:06What it actually looked like
41:08Sal Nassim
41:10Was the IOPC's
41:11Regional Director
41:12For London
41:12At the time
41:13He left in 2023
41:15The team he led
41:18Seized officers' mobiles
41:19And uncovered private group chats
41:21Where they discussed
41:23Hitting their girlfriends
41:24Shared offensive and racist comments
41:26And laughed about rape
41:28There's contempt
41:32And hatred
41:34Towards Muslim communities
41:35Hatred towards Jewish communities
41:37If you were gay
41:38There was a strong theme
41:40Of misogyny
41:41They felt
41:42Comfortable enough
41:44To message
41:45One of their female colleagues
41:46I want to hate
41:47Fuck you
41:48Let's just pause there
41:51For a second
41:51This is the workplace
41:52That's how normalized
41:54That culture had become
41:5514 officers were investigated
41:59Two were dismissed
42:01Two resigned
42:03The IOPC published its report
42:06Into the culture at Charing Cross
42:08At the start of 2022
42:09When we interviewed the officers
42:11And put it to them
42:12What they were saying
42:13And what they were doing
42:14They didn't see it
42:15They excused themselves
42:17It was just banter
42:18Other officers
42:20When they tried to raise concerns
42:21They weren't believed
42:22Senior officers
42:23Would dismiss their concerns
42:25That these officers
42:26Were just indulging
42:27In laddish behaviour
42:28Nearly three years later
42:31It seems inappropriate
42:33Male banter
42:34Hasn't gone away
42:34She was wearing no underwear
42:37Whatsoever
42:39How do I know
42:42Because
42:43A female officer walks away
42:50Other officers say
42:53They face racial discrimination
42:55At work
42:55I just come here
42:57I try to do my job
42:57And that's it
42:58But other people see
42:59Other reasons
42:59To kind of
43:01Who me
43:01But discriminate
43:02Do you think
43:04It's like racial discrimination
43:05No
43:06I'm not sure
43:07I want to say yes
43:08But at the same time
43:09I want to say no
43:10My brain's telling me yes
43:11Because you don't want to believe it all
43:13Yeah exactly
43:14It's because
43:15Obviously I'm a member
43:17But I know
43:19You see a lot of difference
43:22The way that you get treated by people
43:24Especially lines like that
43:26Really?
43:27Yeah
43:27It made you feel uncomfortable
43:28Yeah yeah yeah
43:29Quite a few sergeants
43:32I'll be honest
43:33And colleagues have seen it as well
43:35But
43:35Nothing gets done
43:37Back in the custody suite
43:46The team are dealing with a serious allegation
43:49A female detention officer
44:00Is talking to a police officer
44:02About a man in custody
44:03Who's accused of rape
44:05And domestic violence
44:06But a decision has been made
44:08To release him on bail
44:09He got bailed
44:13No one had got an item
44:14No
44:16We don't know all the details of the case
44:19But the female detention officer
44:21Is unhappy with the bail decision
44:23Yeah it's a nasty place to work for
44:27Really nasty
44:30Yeah she was pregnant
44:31Tried to go with bail
44:32And they could finish that up
44:33That's what she says
44:38What we got for it
44:41I'm a member of the people
44:41Yeah
44:42McElvenny that decided to bail him
44:47I don't really understand
44:47But it works
44:48I don't know
44:49Later on her break
44:51She's still unhappy
44:53About what Sergeant McElvenny's just said
44:55About the decision to bail the man
44:57The way he went
44:59Yeah it's what she says
45:00Fuck you
45:03Don't tell her she's pregnant
45:04Like don't
45:05Fuck off
45:07Yeah
45:09I've heard her
45:11You're blanker
45:12You're blanker
45:13But unfortunately
45:15I can't
45:16Who's got stripes on the charges
45:18That's the same I feel
45:20I better say
45:20If it's a prick
45:22Yeah
45:22Yeah she was pregnant
45:24Tried to give her baby
45:24It's been a stomach
45:25That's what she says
45:30That's what she says
45:33What an attitude
45:33In other words
45:36He doesn't believe her
45:37I'm fairly speechless
45:39As a woman
45:40As well as
45:41A former police officer
45:43Individuals like him
45:44Have the power
45:45To make those sorts of decisions
45:47About my safety
45:48Other women's safety
45:50And that is terrifying
45:52Absolutely terrifying
45:54That's how I feel
45:56But that's how
45:56Yeah
45:58She's not wrong
45:59In her description of him
46:00Frankly
46:01She seems to be quite angry
46:03That he's just dismissed it
46:04Yeah she is angry
46:05It's
46:06And I'm not surprised
46:08It's little wonder
46:10That rape and domestic abuse
46:14Investigations
46:16Have such a low
46:18Success rate
46:19Because despite all the fantastic work
46:21That's been
46:22Been done
46:24You've got idiots
46:25That you come up against
46:26Like this
46:28Clearly these individuals
46:30Are simply not getting the message
46:31The Met says
46:33It's changed its vetting procedures
46:35And introduced new training
46:36It says its officers and staff
46:39Are now making
46:40Three times as many reports
46:41About bad behaviour
46:42Than they were three years ago
46:44And that since 2022
46:46More than 1,400 officers and staff
46:50Have left or been dismissed from the Met
46:52For failing to meet its standards
46:54How confident can you be
46:57That there is a cultural change?
46:59It starts at the gateway
47:01We've changed our vetting approach
47:03For people coming into the organisation
47:04This is about tens of thousands
47:06Of good people in policing
47:07Who care deeply about the public
47:08Who want to be a better organisation
47:11You alright lad?
47:16How are you?
47:17Two weeks after first meeting at the pub
47:19Rory and PC Nielsen meet up again
47:22From the moment I walk through the doors
47:25I tried to match his energy
47:28I tried to make him feel
47:30I was more on side
47:31Just by agreeing with him
47:32Laughing along with him
47:34Making him feel
47:36That you know
47:37He could trust me
47:39P.C. Nielsen's on his second pint
47:42When he starts using racially discriminatory language
47:45About some migrants
47:46Do you ever see any issues with Ukrainians?
47:51No
47:51Exactly
47:51So I don't mind them
47:53Because they're coming over here to work
47:55And they're not to get away from it
47:56Now people coming from all the Middle Eastern
47:58They're just scum
48:00Yeah but why is it always them committing the crimes?
48:04I don't understand
48:04And why is it just men coming over here?
48:07Because it's an invasion
48:09Yeah
48:10God, you're so loose I'll drop right out
48:15Who do you reckon the worst one is then?
48:21Like worst
48:21To deal with
48:23Like people coming over
48:24Ooh
48:25So I've had quite a lot of
48:29Arabs
48:32I've had quite a lot of
48:34North and North
48:34I've got an idea how do you heal
48:35It's a scum
48:36It's a scum
48:37We've had so many of them in custody
48:39I can't stand
48:39They always feign injury
48:41Oh my goodness
48:42Yeah
48:43Erm
48:44The smile is a scum
48:47Mm-hmm
48:47The smile is a
48:48Fucking ugly
48:50Ugly mate
48:52Any kind of person is the worst deal with
48:56Yeah
48:57Three more drinks in
49:01He starts talking about Islam
49:03I've seen too many Islamists
49:07Committing crimes
49:10Their way of life is not the correct way of life
49:14No
49:15I mean
49:18You're on the front line
49:20You see it every day
49:21You do find that
49:24The ones that are causing the most crime
49:26On Islam
49:27They cause the most crime
49:29The Home Office and Police
49:32Don't publish figures on general arrest rates
49:34By religious communities
49:36Despite his obligation not to discriminate
49:40Unlawfully or unfairly
49:41PC Nielsen appears to have made up his mind
49:44You're face to face with a police officer
49:48That's clearly anxious about you
49:49And got question marks about you
49:51And has given you an invite to offer more
49:54Sounds like you're agreeing with his views
49:56I didn't want to shut him down
49:58Because when someone's literally told you
50:01That I was going to go further
50:03But I didn't
50:04Because you're nowhere near my level
50:05I had to show him something
50:07As the evening wears on
50:11PC Nielsen's views don't change
50:13But the way he expresses them gets more extreme
50:17He says what he'd like to see happen
50:20To a detainee he's been dealing with
50:22Who overstayed his visa
50:23Either put the bullet through his head
50:27Or deport him
50:28I hear you man
50:30Because we're paying for it
50:32He was an overstayer
50:32That one of them
50:33He was an overstayer
50:34So many though isn't there
50:35Honestly just
50:38What are you going there
50:41A revolver
50:44A revolver will be so nice
50:49Strikes the head
50:55Oh good
50:56And the ones that
50:59Rape women
51:01You do the cock
51:04And let them bleed out
51:06Yeah
51:07Just in absolute plain sight
51:13Isn't it
51:13Extraordinary
51:16A racist in simple terms
51:21But a violent racist
51:24I mean I feel appalled
51:27And disgusted
51:28And ashamed
51:29Watching that
51:30If you're a member
51:33Of those communities
51:34Who live here
51:35And are hoping to be
51:36Protected
51:37By the best policing
51:39In the world
51:40That police is by consent
51:42That is legitimate
51:43How legitimate is that?
51:48It's not at all
51:49It's disgusting
51:50I have absolutely
51:55No confidence in him
51:56As a police officer
51:57Whatsoever
51:58To be frank
52:01Not much as a human being
52:02Panorama wrote to
52:05Met Commissioner
52:06Sir Mark Rowley
52:07Detailing our evidence
52:08He told Panorama
52:10The behaviour outlined
52:12In this programme
52:12Is disgraceful
52:13And the Met
52:15Has taken immediate
52:16And unprecedented action
52:17Eight officers
52:19And one staff member
52:20Have been suspended
52:21And another two officers
52:23Removed from frontline duties
52:25He says the Met
52:27Has dismantled
52:28The custody team
52:29At Charing Cross
52:30Made changes
52:31To local leadership
52:32And is looking more broadly
52:34At other Met
52:34Detention teams
52:35Sir Mark also says
52:39Much more needs to be done
52:40To tackle the individuals
52:42And cliques
52:42Whose appalling behaviour
52:44Continues to let down
52:45Their colleagues
52:46And Londoners
52:47And the Met's resolve
52:49To identify
52:50Confront
52:50And get rid of them
52:51Is absolute
52:52The Met has referred
52:55Panorama's allegations
52:56To the Independent Office
52:57For Police Conduct
52:59It's launched an investigation
53:01And says it's taking
53:02The matter extremely seriously
53:04We also wrote
53:06To the officers
53:06Identified in this programme
53:08They haven't responded
53:10It's January
53:14And an inspector
53:15Has some news
53:16For the team
53:17Guys
53:19Are you all aware
53:21About Joe?
53:23He's not going to be
53:24With us
53:25For a while
53:26Probably at least
53:28Three months
53:28Maybe longer
53:31But I don't know
53:32But his news
53:36Resolved
53:36Complied
53:37He's talking about
53:38Sergeant Joe McIlvenny
53:40CCTV records him
53:43The moment after
53:44He's told
53:44He's being taken
53:45Off the custody desk
53:46And put on
53:47Back office duties
53:48He's being investigated
53:56After allegedly
53:57Making inappropriate
53:58Comments to this woman
53:59Oh because she was Asian
54:10He was suggesting
54:11That she was into
54:12Yeah
54:13Then the officers
54:14They felt embarrassed
54:16For the detainee
54:18Custody staff
54:21Say it was
54:21British Transport Police
54:23Officers
54:23Who reported
54:24Sergeant McIlvenny
54:25Not his fellow officers
54:27At Charing Cross
54:28Inspector Jim Morris
54:31Who's Sergeant McIlvenny's
54:32Boss
54:33Seems supportive
54:34Obviously
54:36It's not like
54:37It's for Joe
54:38So
54:38You know
54:39Where you can
54:40You know
54:42Make contact
54:43And see how he's doing
54:44Some female colleagues
54:46Are less sympathetic
54:47It was
54:48It was on the cards
54:50Because
54:51It felt very
54:52Very
54:52Very
54:52Very
54:53Do you reckon
54:55I get away with it though?
54:57Come on
54:58In general
54:59In front of officers
55:00It's not only sexist
55:03It's misogynistic
55:04It's racist
55:05Another colleague
55:08Says Sergeant McIlvenny
55:09Told her
55:10He might ask
55:10For a character reference
55:12Character reference
55:13Is nothing
55:13I can't give you
55:15A character reference
55:16Can I?
55:17No
55:17You are awful
55:18As much as I know
55:20You're half joking
55:22You're also not
55:23But from our side
55:25Before we wrote
55:25To the Met
55:26Sergeant McIlvenny
55:28Told Rory
55:28He was back
55:29At work in custody
55:30We don't know
55:32The outcome
55:32Of his disciplinary process
55:34Three years ago
55:38The chief inspector
55:39Of constabulary
55:40Put the Met
55:40Into special measures
55:42Saying it was failing
55:43To meet basic
55:44Policing standards
55:45That came to an end
55:47In January this year
55:49When the inspectorate
55:50Told the Met
55:51It had improved
55:52After seven months
55:56Undercover
55:57Rory's time
55:58At Charing Cross
55:59Is over
55:59Walking out the door
56:02Today
56:02It was just
56:03Weird feeling
56:03I've come in
56:05I've been in custody
56:07For seven months
56:08My honest assessment
56:12Is like
56:12I'm scratching
56:13The surface here
56:13I've met
56:15Police officers
56:16That are racist
56:16I've met
56:17Police officers
56:18That are misogynistic
56:18But the reality is
56:20These people don't
56:21Trust me yet
56:21And I'm still seeing
56:23This evidence
56:24Reflecting on
56:26What we've just watched
56:27How bad is what you've seen
56:29It seemed to me
56:30That there was
56:30Quite a lot there
56:31That ought to
56:32Worry Sir Mark Rowley
56:33And he I'm sure
56:34Will be worried about it
56:35And I hope very much
56:36Will want to do
56:37Something about it
56:38The only way forward
56:40That is going to work
56:41Is a police force
56:42Which says
56:43We have very high
56:44Standards and values
56:45They have a discipline
56:46About the way
56:47They carry out their work
56:48What struck me
56:50Was that didn't seem
56:51To be present
56:52Or being inculcated
56:54By the people
56:55Who were in authority
56:56Who were the sergeants
56:58I've seen enough
56:59To say there is
57:01A highly toxic
57:02Culture there
57:03Of hypersexualised
57:05Male behaviour
57:06Misogyny
57:08Racism
57:09And
57:10Rituritous
57:10Unlawful violence
57:11This is one thing
57:13Where the leadership
57:14I think
57:15Of the Metropolitan Police
57:16Has never really
57:18Grasped the significance
57:19The scale and impact
57:21It's always been
57:21A rotten apple
57:23Not a rotten barrel
57:24It's about changing
57:25The narrative
57:26About what constitutes
57:28Good policing
57:29What do we want
57:30From a police officer
57:30In the 21st century
57:32Rory saw many officers
57:35Behaving professionally
57:36While he was undercover
57:37The Met's been taking action
57:40Against what it calls
57:41Rogue officers
57:42And cultural failings
57:43But our investigations
57:46Found evidence
57:47Of a toxic culture
57:48Inside the UK's
57:49Largest police force
57:50Suggesting racist
57:52And misogynistic attitudes
57:54Haven't been eliminated
57:55They've been driven
57:57Underground
57:57That will make it
57:59Even more difficult
58:00For the Met
58:01To root out
58:01Bad behaviour
58:02And attitudes
58:03Once and for all
58:27To rank
58:28The Dead
58:28That will make it
58:28even more difficult
58:29To participate
58:30In the 21st century
58:31In the 21st century
58:32Do not sacrifice
58:33DAVID
