How did a serving police officer with a history of concerning allegations remain in the Metropolitan Police?

Professor David Wilson and Martin Frizell examine the murder of Sarah Everard by serving Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens and the series of failures that preceded her death.

They discuss the allegations of indecent exposure and other concerning behaviour linked to Couzens before the murder, the opportunities that were missed to identify the danger he posed, and the wider questions the case raises about police vetting, accountability and the protection of women.
