Is There Anything They Are Doing Right..?

The HM Inspectorate of Constabulary, Fire and Rescue Services said that there were “fundamental flaws” in Scotland Yard’s anti-corruption safeguards and that it had also recently hired people with criminal connections and failed to supervise them to minimise risks.

Say what..?!? 

It said other failings included “dire” procedures for storing exhibits from investigations with “hundreds of items... not accounted for, including cash and drugs” and the security code for one store inscribed on the door.

/facepalm

But wait, there's more! 

The offences committed by officers hired in the past two years included wounding, theft and handling stolen goods. The watchdog said the force also did not know whether all the officers employed in sensitive posts, such as child protection, major crime investigation and informant handling, had passed the necessary security vetting.

It's beginning to look less like hopeless incompetence and more like...well, deliberate sabotage, isn't it? 

It added that more than 2,000 warrant cards issued to officers who had subsequently left the force remained unaccounted for...

Blimey, and they have enough trouble with the ones standing officers possess! 

The report was commissioned last year by Home Secretary Priti Patel.

Oh, and we were just talking about hopeless incompetents, weren't we? Get on and appoint a new Commissioner, Priti, and give him/her/other a month to sort this out. No longer.
