00:01The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police says he understands why some women still do not trust
00:07the force five years after the murder of Sarah Everard. Sir Mark Rowley told the BBC that several
00:13ghastly cases involving officers had damaged confidence and would take time to repair.
00:19He said 1,500 people have been forced out since 2022, including many for inappropriate behaviour
00:26towards women. Charities say trust in the Met Police remains in crisis. Rowley insists tougher
00:33vetting and standards are in place and the progress is being made. Wayne Cousins abducted,
00:39raped and killed Everard before receiving a whole life prison sentence.
