Two or three Met officers facing court a week, commissioner says

Sir Mark urged the public not to lose heart as the Met rooted out hundreds of corrupt officers thought to be serving.He told the committee: "We haven't applied the same sense of ruthlessness to guarding our own integrity that we routinely apply to confronting criminals - and I'm deeply sorry for that."

He also said: "Lifting the stone and revealing painful truths will not be resolved overnight, and I mustn't pretend it will do, and I hope you understand that that can't be done.During the meeting, he also revealed a new Met corruption hotline had received tens of calls each week, a third of which related to other forces, which had been passed on.

He emphasised the problem was bigger than "a few bad apples", adding the Met's anti-corruption and abuse command was being encouraged to be "proactive in using more covert techniques". This included monitoring internal communications "more intrusively where there's good cause", Sir Mark said.made against 1,071 Met Police officers and other staff members over the past 10 years.Sir Mark Rowley also previously announced all 45,000 Met officers and staff would be rechecked for previously missed offending.
