Cops flashing their badges for sex makes a mockery of the police motto, "to protect and serve."
Faced with sordid revelations of officers in Philadelphia and other cities extorting sex and assaulting women, police departments across the nation are failing to rid their ranks of these attackers.
A two-part Inquirer series this week (http://go.philly.com/predators) reveals how much more police commanders have to do. They need to improve screening, training and on-the-job oversight of officers to prevent such abuses. When cops go wrong, they should be subject to swift and tou... Read more

UK: Police officer faces jail
A police officer was facing jail last night after admitting having sex with a woman he first met on a 999 call.
PC Gary Bayldon, 48, regularly joined Donna Cacutt for sex while he was on duty and supposed to be working late shifts.
He also admitted propositioning another female suspect he had arrested.
Bayldon, who served with Hampshire Constabulary for 16 years, has been suspended from duty and will face an internal inquiry.
The married policeman could be jailed for up to 12 months after admitting three counts of wilful misconduct while in public office.
At earlier hearings, Bayldon had also faced allegations that he had sex with women in the back of his patrol car and that he kissed a woman who was a witness at a trial.
He was also accused of befriending another woman while on duty and giving her money to buy underwear.
It was alleged he then took her to some woods and asked her to perform a sex act on him. These charges, which he denied, were not proceeded with as the prosecution did not have enough evidence.
Kingston Crown Court heard the officer, who was based on the Isle of Wight, met Miss Cacutt to have sex between August 2003 and August 2004 when he was supposed to be working late shifts.
He also admitted visiting her for sex while on late shifts between September 2004 and January 2005. Ten months later, in October 2005, he propositioned another woman, Suzanne Dunkling, whom he had arrested while attending a domestic dispute.
The court heard that he had stroked her hand while he was questioning her and told her she was 'gorgeous'.
Once she had been released from custody Bayldon drove her home where he kissed her and asked her out.
The court heard how he told her that her 'children would be all right' if she went out with him.
Judge Charles Tilling remanded Bayldon on bail and warned him that he could face up to 12 months in prison.
Bayldon, who lives in Brighstone, on the Isle of Wight, was suspended from duty in February 2007 and has been on full pay ever since.
He now faces an internal inquiry by Hampshire Constabulary at which he is likely to be banned from serving as a police officer for the rest of his life.
Detective Inspector Victoria Dennis, from the force's professional standards department, said Bayldon's behaviour 'fell far short of the high standards that the force exacts from its staff and that the public deserve'.
'His actions are highly untypical and do not represent the vast majority of police officers who serve Hampshire and the Isle of Wight,' she said.
In March 2005, two policemen based in Guildford, Surrey, were jailed for 15 months for having sex with a woman they met while attending a 999 call outside a club.
