An Asian former senior Metropolitan Police officer has claimed that institutional racism still exists in the force, and is “worse now” than after the Macpherson Inquiry more than 20 years ago.
Former Chief Superintendent Parm Sandhu, who retired from the Met Police in 2019, alleged the label of institutional racism “fits” the force, which has “gone backwards” under the leadership of Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick.
In an interview with Channel 4 News, Ms Sandhu said that she told Dame Cressida in 2019, when they talked about “positive action” schemes, that the Met “is not a safe environment for black and Asian officers”.
