Officers of the Metropolitan Police in London were reportedly trained to ensure security at a dinner organized by Jeffrey Epstein in 2010, according to the British press.

British publications, such as The Sunday Times, reported that the officers assigned to protect Prince Andrew were given instructions to ensure security at a dinner organized in 2010 at Jeffrey Epstein's residence in New York. Emails from Epstein's files detail the arrangements for the prince's visit, which was accompanied by two officers from the Metropolitan Police Service. These revelations come in the context of an ongoing investigation into the links between Andrew and Epstein. The Metropolitan Police announced that it is contacting former protection officers to obtain information related to allegations of sexual offenses associated with Epstein, but there is no evidence of professional misconduct on the part of the officers. Recently, Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, being accused of passing confidential government documents to Epstein. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein and has expressed regret over his friendship with him, settling a civil lawsuit in which he was accused of sexual abuse.
