He said: "Securing and maintaining the trust of the community is integral to the principle of policing by consent and to continue to do so, the MPS recognises that its staff must act with professionalism and integrity whether on or off duty.

"The MPS treats each occasion that a member of staff receives a conviction extremely seriously and will review each employee's suitability to continue their employment with the MPS.

"The MPS takes robust disciplinary action against any member of staff whose behaviour is found to have breached the high standards of behaviour expected.

"It is of note that the MPS employs in excess of 31,000 police officers, together with about 13,000 members of police staff, 2,600 Police Community Support Officers and over 5,000 volunteer police officers in the Metropolitan Special Constabulary and its Employer Supported Policing programme.

"The number of police officers and members of police staff that received a conviction and have remained in service with the MPS accordingly, represents a very small percentage of those police officers and members of police staff employed by the MPS."
