“My senior officer has said ‘I’m sorry’ to Ms Williams for the distress it has clearly caused her, and I say that too” Met Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick apologises to British sprinter Bianca Williams over stop-and-search
Despite two reviews by the force's directorate of professional standards, Dame Cressida said the force had found no misconduct by its officers.
"I think all of us watching could empathise with somebody who is stopped in a vehicle, who has a young child in the back, who does not probably know what exactly is going on, and is subsequently found, together with her partner, not to be carrying anything illicit." Ch Supt Karen Findlay, who is in charge of the Territorial Support Group which conducted the stop, and local area commander Helen Harper, also informed Ms Williams about the IOPC referral and the next steps in the process.
