Recommendation 10
10
Deferred
Paragraph: 30
Require all police forces to explicitly prohibit officers from paying for sex
Recommendation
We heard that here has been a lack of clarity on what constitutes misogynistic or predatory behaviour, as well as multiple reports of police officers engaging in commercial sexual exploitation. For that reason, we recommend that forces which have not already done so follow the Met’s lead and make it explicit in policy that their police officers are prohibited from paying for sex.
Government Response Summary
The government states that the decision on how to deploy resources and drive delivery in force, such as prohibiting officers from paying for sex, is a matter for individual Chief Constables.
