Part of: Protecting people from violence and abuse Specific reviews
On 3 December 2021, Sophie Linden, Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, requested that HMICFRS conduct an inspection following the East London inquests touching the deaths of Anthony Walgate, Gabriel Kovari, Daniel Whitworth and Jack Taylor, victims of Stephen Port.
The purpose of this inspection was to establish whether the MPS has learned lessons. In particular, we sought to establish whether this could happen again.
Our inspection took place between May and November 2022. We carried out fieldwork in the MPS and visited 14 central teams, 4 basic command units and 2 major investigation teams.
