The Façade of Honor: Westminster Bridge Hero's Downfall The Metropolitan Police's decision to bar former detective sergeant Gary Waite from policing serves as a sobering reminder that even those who wear the badge of honor can fall prey to their own flaws.
Waite, hailed as a hero for his response to the 2017 Westminster Bridge terror attack, has been stripped of his privileges due to an "inappropriate relationship" with a subordinate officer.
The particulars of this case are disturbing and raise questions about the culture within law enforcement agencies.
