A whistleblowing former detective was ordered to tamper with evidence after the death of a baby, an ex-colleague in the force has said in information circulated to the media.
The news is reportedly aimed at exposing every bit of corruption in the police force and maintaining sustained pressure and the Metropolitan Police Commissioner the College of Policing to continue to strive for robust measures ensure keeping rotten cops out of the force.

The level of corruption in the police force has been one of the biggest challenges in the force. Its embedded level of institutional racism, homophobia and misogyny, added to the other multiple defects that includes violence and sexual offences has called for an urgent transformation.
This situation now exposed by a whistleblower formerly in the force occurred back in 2021, but has was only revealed on Thursday.
Tom Coling, (pictured)who spent four years working at the South London Child Abuse Investigation Team, went public with the allegation in 2021.

He told reporters that after he and a colleague seized evidence, they were ordered to put it all back and re-stage the scene because another team was taking over and would start from scratch.
The whistlenlower revealed that his colleague obeyed the corrupt order, while he refused to take those instructions. The news two years after it occurred confirm that all the evidence in the particular was contaminated.
The incident was among a catalogue of alleged misconduct that he later described in a series of formal complaints, but the Met rejected every concern he raised.
The Metropolitan Police Service claimed in 2021 that Tom’s allegations had been “thoroughly investigated” and no evidence was found of the scene being re-staged.
Witnesses told the News Shopper that a police sergeant was captured in a secretly-filmed sex tape at the home of a prolific paedophile, but never questioned about it.
They also said Tom and a colleague were ordered to tamper with evidence at the scene of a baby’s death.
Tom claimed he was bullied out after raising complaints about what was going on.
“I’m pro-police,” he said. “I love the police. It was an absolutely amazing job. But there is an absolutely rotten core.
“For me to see how rotten it was and not to do anything about it – that’s just not me.”
He has called his website “The Honest Cop”.
The police force in the UK has been under much scrutiny in the past few months, forcing a shake up at the apex of the profession which now presides over a much more robust framework of recruiting.
The wide spread number of misconduct and criminality in the police force has been a wake up call for the force, as officers at every level have been found committing some of the most atrocious offences.
From the sharing of photos of murdered women and that of sexually abused children to serious sexual assaults, sexual abuse and the abuse of internal police computers to contact victims of crime, the police force is still reeling from a crisis in its national reputation.
Revelation that a detective was asked to tamper with evidence is a serious worry the British public will have about the force, as the police set out to show its determination to clean up the force and restore some credibility to a profession that is normally accompanied with integrity and authority and respect.
