Met Police officers have been told to stop taking part in 'porn idol' events at a London nightclub because of concerns about 'upholding standards'
after a string of incidents that the boss at HM Inspectorate of Constabulary Matt Parr said "are likely to have a chilling effect on public trust and confidence in the Met".
Cases cited by Mr Parr included the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving Met officer, the findings of the independent inquiry into the murder of Daniel Morgan, the stop and search of Bianca Williams and Child Q, who was stripped searched by officers at her school. The letter states the "cumulative effect" of all the Met's failures outweighs any successes it may have had.
Being in special measures means the Met will be subject to external monitoring and reviews by the College of Policing and the National Police Chiefs Council. It will be scrutinised more, required to report to inspectors more regularly and may need to hit certain crime-fighting targets.
