Baroness Lawrence told the home secretary that more needed to be done to remove from the force officers who committed serious crimes.
Doreen Lawrence said it was "infuriating" police had not faced sanctions for the failed investigation into her son's murderThe mother of Stephen Lawrence says she is "profoundly concerned" about the slow pace of reforms in the Met Police.
Earlier this year, the Met commissioner said it was "nonsensical" that he could not sack rogue police officers. "Vital changes to the legislative framework are needed to empower police chiefs and give them the tools they need to take fair and effective action to remove anyone falling short of the high standards the public rightly expect of the police.
Baroness Lawrence said she supported reforms including automatically dismissing a serving officer who is convicted of a serious criminal offence, automatically suspending an officer charged with a serious criminal offence and automatically dismissing an officer who fails vetting.
