Met appoints Whitehall troubleshooter Louise Casey to wipe out misogyny

Casey is to lead review into lax Met standards after crisis caused by Wayne Couzens scandal

The former Whitehall troubleshooter Louise Casey has been brought in by the Metropolitan police to root out misogyny and lax standards, as it battles to dig itself out of a crisis caused by its mishandling of the Wayne Couzens scandal.

Lady Casey has been appointed by the Met commissioner, Dame Cressida Dick, to lead the review which came after harrowing details of the rape, kidnap and murder of Sarah Everard by Couzens while a police officer, were made public.
