Angiolini Report Exposes Police Failures in Wayne Couzens Case
  • Dame Elish Angiolini's report uncovers major lapses in police procedures that let Wayne Couzens become an officer despite clear warning signs of his unsuitability.

  • The report chronicles Couzens' long-standing pattern of alleged sexual misconduct and interest in violent and extreme pornography since 1995.

  • There were consistent oversights in the recruitment and vetting process, which failed to identify Couzens' problematic behavior.

  • Previous official reports that identified similar vetting issues were not adequately addressed, highlighting a systemic problem within police recruitment practices.

  • Angiolini's report calls for a substantial reform of police vetting and recruitment to prevent similar cases and stresses the importance of treating indecent exposure with greater severity.

  • The Everard family continues to mourn their loss and the report serves as a call to action for police leadership to prevent any individuals like Couzens from serving in the police force.
