London's Metropolitan Police has issued advice to women approached by lone police officers in the wake of Sarah Everard's murder, including telling them to run "into a house," "wave down a bus" or call the police on 999 if they do not believe the officer is "who they say they are" after questioning them.
Ann Widdecombe says people should keep a sense of proportion: "There are bad apples in every barrel. How many other such incidents can you name? This was rare. If you're approached by a police officer, trust him."
