On another occasion, he said a young woman approached the team after her bag had been snatched on the bus. "One of the trainers was telling us about a female officer he had been on patrol with and he said: 'Before you ask, I have seen her naked when we were playing strip poker.' She said the department was "internally known as the most difficult area of policing" due to the "trauma and the intensity of the role".Image source,She said that a sense of "hopelessness" was evident, "because you're investigating rapes day in day out and so few of them are actually being taken further".
"Whilst we were learning about it all theoretically she says something along the lines of, 'look, I probably wouldn't report it if it happened to me'."Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has said the force has "a practical plan for turning things around" in how it deals with violence against women and girls
