Commander James Harman, Metropolitan Police said:
“The Met was one of the first forces to carry out a data wash of our entire 50,000 employee workforce, finding a comparatively small amount of information needing further investigation, and nothing of a criminal nature.
“The task of checking every employee against the national database was a critical one and aligns to our significant steps to root out those who have no place in the Met.
“Through the commitments we have set out in our A New Met for London plan, we continue to build a healthier and stronger culture that serves the public and supports the tens of thousands of officers and staff who are dedicated to keeping London safe.”
