Labour shadow chancellor Yvette Cooper said police officers being investigated for domestic abuse or sexual offences should be suspended. 'Obviously the really awful cases of David Carrick and Wayne Couzens have illuminated the failures in vetting standards monitoring misconduct,' Cooper said. 
Speaking at the Institute for Government on Thursday, the shadow home secretary said Labour would 'most urgently … introduce new mandatory requirements on vetting, standards, training and misconduct underpinned by new legislation'
Labour would suspend police officers accused of sexual offences, Yvette Cooper says
