In a concerning revelation, British media reports indicate that police officers from Scotland Yard were ordered to provide security services during a 2010 dinner hosted by the notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein at his New York residence. These revelations, stemming from emails related to the Epstein case, show that officers had not only been assigned to Epstein's event but were also stationed at the home of Prince Andrew, who is connected to Epstein through various controversies. The implications of this assignment raise significant questions about the involvement of law enforcement in elite circles and their roles in protecting individuals with potentially criminal ties.

The Sunday Times was the first to report on this, citing emails that include details of arrangements regarding Prince Andrew's stay at Epstein's residence, which occurred in the same year. The correspondence indicates that policemen were given explicit instructions related to security matters for the dinner, highlighting a troubling relationship between law enforcement and high-profile figures accused of serious crimes. These revelations may compel further scrutiny into the actions of the Metropolitan Police and their oversight in dealing with individuals like Epstein and those within his social sphere.

In response to the news, the British police confirmed they are contacting officers who previously worked with Prince Andrew to gather information about these arrangements. This situation underscores the ongoing legal and societal implications surrounding Prince Andrew's associations and the broader issues of accountability for law enforcement in their engagements with individuals accused of exploitation and abuse.
