In an exclusive interview with ITV News, former Metropolitan Police Detective Jess McDonald shares the grim reality of working in the force.

I used to work as a PCO in the court system, I didn’t know one officer male or female who would have reported a SA or DV assault to the police. Out of sheer embarrassment or just knowing the court experience/outcome.

Worked with some great girls in my time in the Service and they where great. This report makes me very sad but I could see it going downhill 30yrs ago when I retired.

Wayne Couzens convicted and jailed 2021, David Carrick convicted and jailed 2022, Adam Provan convicted and jailed 2023. All Females ask, when will this ever end?

Read her book: No Comment: what I wish I knew about becoming a detective.

The problem starts with the MET being the Tory police, the rot starts from the top.

[Snottboogie]

Now they want to speak out. Not when all of those young girls were getting assaulted by grooming gangs

[MathewBall]

It sounded at one point that she was saying it's hard to prove that the aleged victim has been raped so we need to do more to put men accused of rape in jail! In other words, believe all women and all men accused of rape are automatically guilty of rape. Great police work!

Yup. It was irrevocably destroyed by May and Osborne/Cameron.

However - I read with interest the comments made by a former colleague about this person on her Twitter account.

He is someone who’s opinion I trust. Huge integrity. Very capable. Honest. Intelligent. He worked with her and said she was one of the poorest calibre officers he’d ever worked near. He detailed clearly a time when she’d provably lied about her lateness and detailed a string of incompetence.

I would be very very cautious about believing the version of events given. They were actually being managed out of the police they were so poor during their probation according to the the Detective Sergeant commenting.

I know him to be very open minded and fair. This former officer must have been very poor for him to challenge her ‘truth’

Unfortunately rhis has been the case for many years!!

[boatslow-]

I ave heard the exact same from a ex met officer just the other day, so sad what another officer has had to go through. If you haven’t YouTube millions and Marshall shot by the met police this was there actions on the seventh of may.
Poor dogs shot with guns brutally and there was no need. What does met do try cover it up nearly one and a half million signed petition there is also a face book group if you want the name it’s millions and Marshall shot dead by the met police at lime house London

The Met is broken? Try the justice systems judges lawyers everything judges are the biggest criminals

[RPSPORT]

So she didn't complain but went to the news for a payday instead

[thomaswaite]

Also needlessly slaughtered dogs that had caused no injury, and were both on lead, posing no risk when confronted by idiotic police officers; devoid of humanity or common sense. Human excrement with guns and a danger to us all.

[johnridout]

I think we all know that there are useless

[jamesscottvideos]

It's propaganda when you only talk about sexism and racism, and say nothing about how the police serve the state instead of the law, meaning we have a police state.

[TonyToning-neuq]

Im sure theres a trans man who can take her place...😇

[Jon-hi]

Does ITV always rely on disgruntled former employees as the single version of the truth?

RUBBISH i can tell she's just another say a lot do nothing type worker.
