'Collapse in standards' in the Met Police

[@stainlesssteelrat2821]

My Dad was DPG out of Tottenham court rd for over 20yrs ... when he went through Hendon he was the only person in his intake not to have a degree .... I have a sneaky feeling that that trend has totally reversed

You don't get it do you, it is the individual that is the problem and their enablers, if anything, the smarter or more intelligent the more damage can be done

I was a Met Officer...its a bloody hard thankless dangerous job...all I can say is try it for yourself

[@ricmac954]

If the Met wasn't racist and bent, or if its officers were prepared to report the same in their colleagues, maybe they'd draw less flack?

Why would I want to join an organisation that no one has any respect for?

My brother's a police officer and respectively to him I couldn't do it my hats off to what they do and pretty much what you've said.

[@julianshepherd2038]

if only the good cops would grass up the bad, you might have gotten none support. I've lived under 6 uk forces and the Met made no attempt to police with consent and most people didn't report minor crime because they feared the police. Aggressive rudest was their starting point.

The standards were never high

[@chrismorrison5585]

with policing becoming a degree only profession i can only see standards of front line police getting worst

[@Joe__Smith]

Things are getting pear shaped at the Met!

[@maurx6179]

They always were, and always will be

[@fuckbankers]

It's corrupt

[@jf7243]

Well as long as they know how to use the correct pronouns, not offend any person, and pander to everyone’s preferences, then all should be good!
