its chair, lady elish angiolini, said red flags about couzens had repeatedly been ignored by three polices, and that without significant overhaul, she believed there's nothing to stop another couzens operating "in plain sight". the metropolitan police has responded that it must go further and faster to regain public trust. here's our home affairs correspondent, june kelly. he was a predatory sex offender in a police uniform. a criminal with state—sanctioned powers. wayne couzens should never have been allowed to join the police, and constant flawed vetting meant he was able to continue in his role despite a series of red flags. these are the stark conclusions of today's inquiry report. the metropolitan police service told the inquiry in 2022 that it would still have recruited him if provided with the same information. i found this astonishing. without a significant overhaul, there is nothing to stop another wayne couzens operating in plain sight. the report describes how in 2004 and 2008, kent police turned down his application to join, but allowed him to work voluntary as a special const
