Met boss’s fury as rotten cops can’t be sacked by removing vetted status due to human rights laws ROTTEN cops cannot be sacked by removing their vetted status — due to human rights laws, a High Court judge has ruled.
He added: “We now have no mechanism to rid the Met of officers not fit to hold vetting — those who cannot be trusted to work with women, or those who cannot be trusted to enter the homes of vulnerable people.”.
Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley branded the decision “absolutely absurd” and said it had “left policing in a hopeless position”.
The Met launched its Operation Assure re-vetting programme in the wake of armed cop Wayne Couzens murdering 33-year-old Sarah Everard in March 2021.
The Sun can reveal Sgt Di Maria worked in a unit tackling violence against women and girls while an internal review was carried out into him.
