All forces asked to check every officer against police database in wake of David Carrick case

Forces have been asked to check all officers and staff against national police databases to "identify anyone who has slipped through the net" in the wake of the David Carrick rape case, the Home Office said.

The 48-year-old – who had served as a Metropolitan Police officer for more than 20 years – was found to be one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders after he admitted dozens of rapes and sexual offences following attacks on 12 women.

Now, the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) is due to ask all forces to double check their officers to find anyone who is "simply not fit to wear the uniform".
