London: At least 944
serving police officers in Britain as well as community support
officers have criminal records, according to official figures.
The offences include causing death by careless driving, robbery,
burglary, supplying drugs, domestic violence, forgery and
diverting the course of justice, The Sun reported.
Those with criminal records include a chief inspector at the
Scotland Yard or Metropolitan Police as well as two detective
chief inspectors.
The London department has the highest figure with 356 police
officers and 41 support officers. Second on the list was Kent
Police with 49 officers.
