The numbers suggest that around 60 officers could face being dismissed from the job per month as the force continues to crackdown on corrupt and incompetent staff

New staffing numbers have revealed that around 1,000 Met Police officers are currently serving suspensions or are on restricted duties as the force continues to attempt to overhaul the institution.

The number suggest that around 60 officers could face the sack per month over the next two years. It comes as the Met Police attempts to weed out corrupt and incompetent staff following high profile cases such as Wayne Couzens, a then-serving officer who raped and murdered Sarah Everard, and David Carrick, a then-serving officer who was revealed to be a serial rapist.
