Why BBC sent undercover reporter into a busy London police station
BBC sent an undercover reporter into a busy London police station for seven months to uncover shocking evidence of misconduct, including misogyny, racism, and abuse of power. The reporter worked as a detention officer at Charing Cross police station, secretly filming interactions and conversations to expose the troubling culture within the station. The investigation revealed deep-rooted issues of discrimination and inappropriate behavior among officers, despite efforts by the Metropolitan Police to address such concerns. The undercover reporting shed light on systemic problems within the police force and led to disciplinary action against several individuals involved.
