Is the Metropolitan Police institutionally corrupt?

Very good, well worth watching. Begs the question that if the Met is institutionally corrupt, how can a fair trial take place?.
 
Surely the task now is how to fix the problem? If the Met don't/can't agree the findings, how do they move forward and out of this institutional corruption? Doesn't that become the Home Sec's problem?
 
Start by sacking Cressida Dick.

Yes, that's a start. But it's just a start. How do you progress from there? It's a big organisation. Sack the deputy commissioner and the assistant commissioners? Go further down the ranks? Then what? Get a whole new team from outside of policing to run it? Practically speaking , I don't suppose a commissioner can fix it on his/her own - it's just too big, too many managers.

If it's institutionally corrupt, sounds to me like the very concept of policing needs professionalising. I think that's something several governments have wrestled with.
