1k Met Police officers suspended or on restricted duties

It's hard to process, but the senior police officer was quoted a few months back as saying "give me the powers to get rid of dirty cops".

It's not clear if 1/34 cops are "corrupt", or what the current senior officers think means corrupt, or just useless.

But it's pretty certain that large scale drug money is going to have had some impact.

In the main, the publicity has been around racism, mysogeny and thiose who cover up such behaviour. I haven't heard much about financial/drug-related corruption

Fair enough - it's hard to parse "corrupt" however.

A cop taking bribes from criminals to look the other way is a threat to other officers.

A cop using his position to sexually abuse vulnerable women in a not a (direct) threat to his fellow officers. But is of course indirectly as the trust eventually goes.
