More than 100 Met Police officers are being looked into over claims of racism, homophobia and even drugs possession.
The force is reportedly probing the conduct of 137 officers, 100 of which face allegations of racism in their behaviour towards others.
The startling statistics are the latest controversy to hit Britain's biggest police force after ongoing scandal surrounding institutional misogyny.
Commissioner Mark Rowley admitted this week that 'hundreds' of racists and misogynists were lurking among the Met, with the chief facing increasing pressure to clean up his workforce.
The chief told the Home Affairs Select Committee that work was underway to weed out sack officers 'who shouldn't be here', most of whom he said were 'white men' who treated Black and female colleagues badly.
Responding to the latest figures obtained by The Sun, however, the Met said the investigations were conduct matters rather than criminal offences.
A Met spokesperson told The Mirror: "Conduct matters are internal disciplinary investigations where circumstances indicate that an officer or member of police staff may have breached the standards expected of them.
"Police officers are held to a high professional standard, and the majority of these conduct matters would not constitute criminal offences."
Last year, a report triggered by the murder of Sarah Everard by serving officer Wayne Couzens revealed the horrific extent of bigotry in the force, showing one officer had faced 11 misconduct allegations including sexual harassment.
Baroness Casey's report slammed the Met, calling its system for flagging misconduct as "not fit for purpose".
It comes as the Government's outgoing advisor for tackling violence against women and girls accuses former Met Commissioner, Dame Cressida Dick, of downplaying Ms Everard's murder in March 2021.
Dame Cressida reportedly complained at a meeting with officials - including then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson and former Justice Secretary Robert Buckland KC - that the initial Government response had been "out of proportion".
Nimco Ali, herself a former victim of female genital mutilation, told today's Sunday Times: "I will never forgive Cressida for that flippancy. For her it was all about her officers. I don't think at any point she ever gave a s*** about women."
The former commissioner has strenuously denied making the comments alleged by Ms Ali, telling the Sunday Times: "I did not make those comments and it is not language I would ever use.
"I entirely supported every effort the Government was making at that time, giving advice and taking action in the Met.
Throughout my service I sought to reduce violence against women and girls."
According to the newspaper, which reached out to "a number of ministers who were present" at the meeting, they did not deny the "substance" of Ms Ali's account.
Ms Ali, who resigned from her role on Friday in response to Suella Braverman's "crazy rhetoric" about migrants, was appointed the adviser on tackling violence against women in 2020 and was a close friend to Mr Johnson and his wife.
Dame Cressida was forced to resign as police commissioner in February following a backlash against the Met over its handling of the Everard murder and subsequent revelations about widespread misogyny and misconduct by officers.
