Who is policing the police?

Melanie Abbott investigates why thousands of police officers have not yet been re-vetted to new standards brought in 15 years ago.

With the murder of Sarah Everard shining a light on police vetting procedures, File on 4 reveals that thousands of officers have still not been re-vetted to standards brought in in 2006. As a public inquiry tries to establish what鈥檚 going wrong with our policing, Melanie Abbott talks to the women who say they鈥檝e been betrayed by police officers who should have kept them safe and to officers who say sexism and harassment are part of the job.
