A 15-month investigation into whether a senior Metropolitan police officer perverted the course of justice by avoiding driving charges is probing the conduct of other senior figures within the UK's biggest force.
Karen Findlay, who oversaw policing for Queen Elizabeth's funeral and the coronation of King Charles, could yet face criminal charges.
While assertions were probed that she made personal use of police vehicles, including a Jaguar, and claimed to be on duty following receipt of notices of intended prosecution (NIPs) for driving offences, potential abuses by others were discovered.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is now looking at accusations relating to four other unnamed individuals, one serving officer and one retired and one civilian member of staff and another also retired.
The revelations emerged via a Freedom of Information request by former police officer, Oliver Laurence, who is concerned about the public's declining confidence in UK policing.
