Met Chief Warns Violence Against Women Needs To Be Treated Like Terrorism

I initially missed this when the story was published a couple of months ago but I stumbled on it today.

 

Britain’s top officer has warned that tackling violence against women and girls needs the same level of funding as terrorism policing as he faces questions over the recruitment of Sarah Everard’s killer to police.

 

Sir Mark Rowley’s comments came as the mayor of London branded the recruitment of Wayne Couzens and repeated failures to stop him as “one of the most shattering accounts of failure in British policing history”.

 

Sadiq Khan hit out at a series of blunders which allowed Couzens to be recruited to three different police forces after last week a damning inquiry uncovered a string of missed opportunities to catch the killer.

 

The inquiry, led by Lady Elish Angiolini, branded Couzens a “predatory sex offender and murderer” who should have never been a police officer, and laid bare a history of alleged sexual offending dating back nearly 20 years before he murdered the 33-year-old marketing executive.

 

At a meeting of the London Policing Board on Tuesday, Mr Khan expressed his deepest sympathies with Ms Everard’s loved ones who on Sunday marked the third anniversary of her kidnap and murder by Couzens while he was a serving Metropolitan Police officer.

How about instead getting increased funding to tackle Violence?

Not just against women and girls but men and boys too? 

 

Your thoughts?

Khan is reaping what he sowed. 

Always putting his faith in front of his duty. 

Thread title is a little misleading. The Met chief stated that funding for violence against women/children should be equal to the level for terrorism, not be treated like terrorism which is a different thing entirely.

I would imagine deaths and violence to women and girls massively outweighs risk from terrorism
