Police watchdog reveals possible breach of professional conduct, but no disciplinary action to be taken

A recent review by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) suggests that former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick may have violated professional conduct standards regarding the investigation into Daniel Morgan’s 1987 murder. While the IOPC found no evidence of corrupt intent, it acknowledged that Dick might have wrongly prioritised protecting information over full disclosure. The Morgan family expressed disappointment at the findings, claiming that the review failed to address systemic corruption in the police force.
