Undercover in the Police

Secret filming by Panorama reveals evidence of racism, misogyny and officers revelling in the use of force at one of London’s busiest police stations, Charing Cross.

Secret filming by Panorama reveals evidence of racism, misogyny and officers revelling in the use of force at one of London’s busiest police stations, Charing Cross. After the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police officer, the Metropolitan Police promised change and says that since 2022 more than 1,400 officers have either been dismissed or have resigned following a clamp down on what it calls ‘rogue officers’.

Panorama’s evidence suggests that a toxic culture still exists inside the Met and that racist and misogynistic attitudes haven’t been eliminated but have been driven underground. The Met has responded to Panorama’s investigation by suspending eight officers and one staff member, as well as referring the allegations to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
