The poll surveyed nine English regions, revealing higher trust in the police among females in eight regions, but in London, women trusted the Met less than men, mirroring lower trust among ethnic minorities compared to white people.
The survey conducted by academics highlights a monumental reputation challenge for the Met, following notable scandals like Wayne Couzens' conviction for murdering Sarah Everard and revelations about David Carrick.
While 41% of people in England overall trust the police, significant race gaps exist, with lower trust reported among ethnic minorities compared to white British respondents, particularly evident in regional variations like the south-east.
The Met, the largest UK force, received the lowest confidence percentages, with only 34.6% of Londoners expressing trust, indicating a need for significant reputation rebuilding efforts.
