Our client is intending to bring legal proceedings against the Metropolitan Police relating to a strip search in custody Lewisham police station. A.This follows a Gross Misconduct Hearing conducted by the Met Police concerning treatment of an MK Law client
Following our client’s original complaint, the Met did not agree that gross misconduct proceedings were merited and as a result (and for the first time) the IOPC itself brought the case against the officers.
Sergeant Dru Hussey remained in active service throughout the investigation (and remains in post today), working in a panel looking to implement oversight of the management of police custody across the whole Metropolitan Police area.
