Cops who fail vetting checks will soon be kicked out of forces automatically under new rules

COPS who fail vetting checks will be booted out of the police automatically from next month. 

The Home Office confirmed that passing background inspections will be a legal requirement from May 14. 

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: ‘It is simply not acceptable that officers clearly unfit to serve or who pose a risk to colleagues cannot be removed’Alamy

It follows outrage over cops with serious allegations, such as domestic and sexual abuse, remaining in their posts because forces lack the powers to sack them.
