| Subject: Met Police has 'culture of fear', officers say, because of the "draconian" use of performance targets Fri Apr 04, 2014 7:53 pm | |
| There is a "culture of fear" in the Metropolitan Police because of the "draconian" use of performance targets, a report into the force has said.
It calls some targets "meaningless" and "unrealistic" - and says others are "disguised" by senior officers.
The report was compiled by the Met Police Federation from interviews and surveys with 250 officers.
Scotland Yard denied claims of a "bullying culture" and said it made "no excuses" for valuing performance.
John Tully, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, said the report painted a "devastating" picture. 'Rock bottom'
He told the BBC's Today programme that officers who missed targets were put on a "hit list", with some facing potential misconduct action.
