The force has apologised, saying writing to the officers without due checks was an error.

A Met Police spokesperson said: "Last year we sent out more than 3,000 letters to former officers who had retired in the last five years as part of our work to attract more experience back into the Met.

"We identified this error in October 2022. Since then no further letters have been sent. Every person offered the opportunity to return to the Met is subject to full vetting and pre-employment checks. He's even made it clear he'd prefer to prioritise missing the government recruitment target this March rather than sign up officers who aren't the right people.
