Red flags were ignored again and again. One of the allegations was made during his probation period, but he passed. In 2011, Carrick should have had his once-a-decade vetting refresher, but this was somehow delayed for six years. In 2017, he was given enhanced counter-terrorism vetting, and passed. This all raises huge questions about what information was shared at those vettings, and what understanding there was of how predatory sex offenders operate.
DCI Iain Moor of Hertfordshire police, who led the investigation that finally brought Carrick to justice, has said it was “unbelievable” that these crimes could have been carried out by a serving police officer. I have to disagree. It’s appalling and sickening, but it’s far from unbelievable – just look at the serving Met officer who murdered Sarah Everard.
The Met has said it is now reviewing every past claim of domestic abuse or sexual offence against about 1,000 of the Met’s 45,000 officers and staff, but changing the culture also means recruiting people differently, training people differently, vetting people differently, and holding people to account differently – which may well mean sacking people much more readily.
