Police dismissal rules must be changed, London Mayor Sadiq Khan says
The mayor proposed that any officer who committed a serious offence or who failed vetting while part of the police service should be automatically dismissed - although Mr Khan did not define what would constitute a serious offence.
Mr Khan also proposed the introduction of a "duty of candour, which would require an officer to proactively report any wrongdoing". A spokesman said: "The mayor knows the home secretary has already ordered forces to root out rogue officers who are unfit to serve, and she has commissioned a review of police dismissals which will look to empower chief constables to make it easier to sack rogue officers."
