Nearly 600 police officers in England and Wales were sacked in the year to March 2024, figures showed Tuesday, as police chiefs battle to restore public confidence after a string of scandals.
The sackings — a 50 percent rise on the 394 dismissed the previous year — include 74 officers kicked out of policing for sexual offences and misconduct.
Another 18 officers were dismissed for possessing indecent images of children, according to the figures compiled by the College of Policing, an independent public body.
