BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Trust in the Police? Have you say and call Nuala McGovern at Woman's Hour

After the Casey report, has your faith in the police been dented? What's your experience?

The Met Police has been described as racist, misogynistic and homophobic in a new report. Nuala McGovern hosts a special phone-in to hear your views on faith in the police.

On a special phone in edition of Woman's Hour we look at trust in the police following the review by Baroness Casey into a toxic culture at the Met Police.  She found the  'the force has lost the trust and confidence of the people it is supposed to keep safe' and gave shocking examples of sexism, racism and homophobia. The report was commissioned in the aftermath of the rape and murder of Sarah Everard by PC Wayne Couzens, who has been sentenced to life imprisonment. 
Since then, we’ve also had the sentencing of former police officer David Carrick, who pleaded guilty to 85 serious offences, including rapes, sexual assaults, false imprisonment, and coercive and controlling behaviour. He is now serving time in jail, for a minimum of 32 years.  We want to hear your views - do you trust the police? Would you think twice about asking for help as a woman of colour or if you'd been sexually assaulted? Call Nuala McGovern to have your say on 03700 100 444. Lines open at 0830 Wednesday.

Presenter: Nuala McGovern
Producer: Lisa Jenkinson
Studio Mangaer: Gayl Gordon
