THE Metropolitan Police is failing in almost all its areas of work, a damning report by the police inspectorate declared today.

Out of nine areas assessed, the Met was rated as “requires improvement” in five and “inadequate” in two, with investigating crimes and managing offenders receiving the lowest rankings.

The report highlighted that the Met had failed to manage risks posed by sex offenders and online child abusers “effectively.”
