A former American police chief has warned the "British police services are in crises, nationwide" with the Met "mired in controversy for years."Bill Bratton, former Police Commissioner of New York City and Los Angeles, told LBC this morning's revelation that one in seven police departments in the UK are under special measures is "an eye opener" and should be a "wake up call".
The police force has been widely criticised for its handling of cases including the murder of Sarah Everard, the findings of the independent inquiry into the murder of Daniel Morgan, the stop and search of Bianca Williams and Child Q, who was stripped searched by officers at her school. "We were able to turn them around. No police department is permanently free of controversy or crises. The nature of what they do guarantees that, but I see crises as opportunity."
