PC David Carrick: Lib Dems call for immediate investigation
18 Jan 2023
EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Responding to the news that Metropolitan Police Officer David Carrick has committed 40 attacks on women making him one of the worst sexual offenders in modern criminal history, Liberal Democrat Leader, Ed Davey said:
"This case is shocking and disturbing.
"Officers like David Carrick need to be identified and rooted out quickly, with investment in quality supervision and training to ensure the small number of officers who abuse their position are removed immediately.
"For the sake of his victims and survivors, there should be an investigation into how the alarm bells and red flags have been ignored in this case. Without swift action, the public will not regain trust in the police."
