18-month-old UK Metropolitan Police anti-corruption hotline receives 3,000 contacts, leads to 700 investigations.
The UK's Metropolitan Police launched an anti-corruption hotline 18 months ago, receiving nearly 3,000 contacts and leading to over 700 investigations. The hotline, now nationally available for reports about all UK police forces, allows anonymous tip-offs to be passed on to the relevant force for assessment and potential investigation. The service aims to provide an anonymous and confidential route for reporting corruption, criminality, or abusive behavior within policing, following a series of scandals that damaged public trust in the police service.
