"Addressing the Toxic Culture of London's Met Police Force"

TL;DR Summary
A review of the Metropolitan Police by Baroness Casey has found that the force is "disconnected from Londoners" and has "cultures alive and well" of institutional prejudice, including sexism and homophobia. The report has led to calls for police reform, with politicians suggesting they want to see progress within two years. However, there is no blueprint for a reorganised system in England and Wales, and major reform feels some way off. The perilous state of British policing relies on trust, which has been eroded by the report's findings.
