The Met was criticised for its heavy handling of the later stages of the vigil, with outrage that some women were bundled to the ground.
Commander Karen Findlay wrote in letters to both women:"I wish to emphasise that I fully acknowledge that your motivations in attending the vigil were to express your grief and anger regarding the circumstances of the tragic murder of Sarah Everard, and to express the level of concern and dissatisfaction felt by you and many other women who were understandably feeling badly let down by the Met.
"That aside, I appreciate the anger, frustration and alarm your arrest undoubtedly caused you, exacerbated by the subsequent proceedings, and I regret that your opportunity to express your grief and anger was curtailed by your arrest and removal.
"I have felt abused, abandoned by the police prior to, during and post the vigil - I do not feel protected or safe with any police force."
