A new documentary will explore the ‘culture of misogyny’ within the police as it takes a deep dive into the vile case of Wayne Couzens, who kidnapped, raped and murdered 33-year-old Sarah Everard in 2021.

The former Met official, who was recently reported to have been sued for flashing a pedestrian in 2015, is the focus of the year-long investigation into the Channel 5 show, which will air on June 15 at 9 a.m. pm on Channel 5 and then Mi5.

Wayne Couzens: Killer in Plain Sight, from Flicker Productions, is created by an all-female production team and “represents the unheard voices of survivors of police sexual violence.”

With more than 1,000 police officers now under investigation for alleged sex crimes or domestic violence at the Met, according to data from January of this year, the film “reveals new evidence and asks whether women’s faith can be restored.” in police work.” .

It will draw on interviews with “experts, ex-cops, never-before-heard stories from survivors of police abuse, and those who knew Wayne Couzens, to investigate who and what enabled him to commit such a heinous crime.”

Colleen Flynn, Creative Director of Flicker Productions, added: “We wanted to examine the breakdown of trust between women and the police as a result of the Wayne Couzens case, the repercussions of which are still being felt today.

“By giving a voice to women on and off screen, our goal is to instigate real systemic change, shining a light on a toxic culture that allowed serious wrongdoing.”

It comes after recent reports that Couzens may have been arrested for indecent exposure years before he killed Sarah Everard, but a sergeant who knew his brother said it was not a crime.

Last month, it emerged that Kent police failed to arrest the Scotland Yard officer when he was reported for flashing a pedestrian in 2015 after the investigating officer accessed a file revealing Couzens was a former special force constable. .

In an extraordinary scandal, Couzens’ name was broadcast as a suspected sex offender on a radio channel to all Kent police officers, but no further action was taken.

It was revealed that the sergeant who dismissed the case was stationed in Ashford when Couzens was working there as a special constable and also knew Couzens’ brother David, a serving Kent police officer.

The officer who made the mistake, who was given anonymity, twice accessed a file detailing Couzens’ work for Kent police between 2006 and 2009 before recording that no crime had been committed.

The extraordinary misconduct only came to light when the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) launched an investigation after Couzens killed Sarah Everard two years ago.

In September 2021, the Old Bailey heard how killer Couzens used Covid laws to detain, handcuff and stage the false arrest of Sarah Everard before strangling her ‘with his police belt’; it transpired that he had spent hours prowling the streets of central London looking for a lonely woman to attack.

Couzens cuffed the 33-year-old marketing executive’s hands behind her back, leaving her unable to unfasten the seatbelt he strapped on her after ordering her into the back of his rental car.

It coincided with a series of increasingly sickening behaviors in which the married father of two showed off two women at McDonald’s in two separate incidents.

Meanwhile, in April this year, reports surfaced that a hotline for complaints about rogue police could be implemented on every force in Britain.

Scotland Yard launched the first hotline of its kind last November and over 1,000 people used it to report misconduct.

Some of these reports have sparked intelligence-led drug tests and undercover investigations by officers of Britain’s largest force.

Officers have also been suspended from duty and even arrested due to the tip of the Met’s partnership with Crimestoppers for the dedicated hotline.

And the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) had confirmed that it was possible to implement the same system across all forces across the country to root out officers who abuse their position.

A spokesman said: ‘The NPCC is exploring the deployment of a national police integrity line as a priority. An update on the progress of this will be posted in due course.’

The Met had launched its own hotline for members of the public to report rogue officers in the wake of the murder of Sarah Everard by serving officer Wayne Couzens, and a month before PC David Carrick admitted to raping and abusing sexually from 12 women.
