  1. Yesterday
  2. I've got to agree with you. The old system of police authorities was so much more representative aswell, made up of local councillors, magistrates etc.
  3. One of the worst decisions in Policing was the inception of Police Crime Commissioners. They have completely Politicised Policing and not for the better. Yes the Police have to be accountable but not to a Political Appointment.
  4. During Spiking Intensification Week (18 – 24 March 2024), Greater Manchester Police (GMP) will be continuing work to combat spiking during the night-time economy (NTE) and to protect victims. https://www.gmp.police.uk/news/greater-manchester/news/news/2024/march/gmp-joins-other-forces-nationwide-to-combat-spiking-in-the-regions-pubs-and-clubs/
  5. Police have arrested a man after two people were injured by crossbow bolts in Shoreditch. https://news.met.police.uk/news/man-arrested-after-two-injured-by-crossbow-bolts-in-shoreditch-481230
  6. The police and crime commissioner (PCC) for the West Midlands has won a High Court challenge against Government plans to transfer his powers to the region’s mayor. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/west-midlands-police-commissioner-wins-legal-challenge-against-powers-transfer/ar-BB1k5cob?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=089c08a4d8304768a846f3ae7a71b5dd&ei=41
  7. Last week
  8. Sorry but, their behaviour just typifies one of the things which is wrong in Policing in the present days. It is totally inappropriate for an Inspector to be engaged in a relationship with one of his junior officers, single or married.
  9. A British Transport Police (BTP) Constable has been dismissed following an Accelerated Misconduct Hearing for gross misconduct after seeking the services of a sex worker whilst staying in BTP funded accommodation in London during a training course. https://www.btp.police.uk/news/btp/news/england/police-officer-dismissed-after-seeking-the-services-of-a-sex-worker/
  10. Neil Adams and Stephanie Whitehead, both 40, made clandestine recordings of women by planting mobile phones in changing rooms and toilets. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1878283/border-force-officer-secretly-film-neil-adams
  11. He can be alright but some of his takes are awful. One memorable example was how a car door blowing open in the wind damaging another vehicle parked next to it because the driver, a mother, was putting her children in the vehicle - he insisted that would pass the recklessness test for criminal damage... It was bizarre. No way in a 1000 years would that ever get passed an ERO or CPS.
  12. It has usually been that if an officer has a complaint pending that any promotion will not go ahead but put on hold. Although it can sound unjust then think of the scenario that the officer is promoted and then the complain is upheld, egg on the face all round and much criticism. It used to be in the GMP when all proposed promotions had to be run through Professional Standards to check there were no outstanding complaints.
  13. I've seen videos where the person actually says they're going to make a complaint just to inconvenience the officer, so it makes sense that it shouldn't automatically prevent promotion and lead to restricted duties otherwise you'll just get more of that. I wonder how many of those saying they will complain actually do though, surely BWV should discourage at least some of it.
  14. When will they ever learn that innocent jovial remarks can often be misconstrued by anyone who wants to twist the context. If there are truely misogynistic and offensive remarks then those making them have only th3emselves to blame. Whats App the easiest way to a P45.
  15. A police source told MyLondon the WhatsApp messages were 'abusive, malicious and misogynistic' https://www.mylondon.news/news/uk-world-news/12-london-btp-officers-whatsapp-28828937
  16. MyLondon joined the Met Police for a dawn drugs raid at a secret location in East London. https://www.mylondon.news/news/east-london-news/drug-dealer-suspect-pops-head-28794063
  17. Two east London criminals who arranged for migrants to be smuggled into the UK using lorries and small aircraft have been convicted, following a major eight-year investigation by the National Crime Agency into the activities of a significant Albanian organised crime syndicate. https://nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/news/eight-year-nca-investigation-into-major-people-smuggling-ocg-concludes-with-final-two-convictions
  18. A man who raped a woman in Croydon has been jailed. https://news.met.police.uk/news/met-investigation-results-in-man-being-jailed-for-rape-in-croydon-481201
  19. The siege follows an incident in which bar staff were threatened by a man with a crowbar. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1878249/birkenhead-siege-merseyside-armed-police-liverpool
  20. I've always thought he does quite a good job of explaining legal issues in a way us civvies can understand. And he seems fairly neutral and balanced in his commentary, at least compared to most on Youtube.
  21. Ah complaint should be judged on its merits and the severity. The investigating officer often realises the severity and voracity and can, and should suspend if it is necessary. The original post did not differentiate between Misconduct and Gross Misconduct. There can never be a Carte Blanch not to suspend.
  22. Given that the overwhelming majority of investigations turn out to be unfounded or vindicate the officers involved, and the title talks of misconduct and not gross misconduct, that seems like a sensible state of affairs to me.
  23. Metropolitan Police officers being investigated for misconduct could be allowed to continue to work without restrictions and remain eligible for promotion, a leaked memo from Sir Mark Rowley reveals.
  24. Ironic that such action was taken when they were actually smuggling illegal migrants out of the UK. It is understandable that if they are able to smuggle people out of the country then they are obviously able to smuggle illegal immigrants into the UK. The only interest that they would have is making money out of misery.
  25. This was a complete waste of life on someone who was a dedicated and highly respected officer. It is absolutely unbelievable that the firearm was not discovered in the search on the arrest. Even a cursory search should have discovered an under arm holster containing a revolver. It would be interesting to know what action is or has been taken regarding the arresting officers and the lack of search. A tragic and totally avoidable death. RIP Matt.
  26. Two men who attempted to smuggle 39 migrants out of the UK in the back of a refrigerated lorry have been jailed for 12 years. https://nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/news/men-jailed-for-attempting-to-smuggle-migrants-including-a-6-year-old-boy-out-of-the-uk
  27. The grieving widow of tragic Met Police officer Matt Ratana is suing the force as she accuses them of a 'shoddy and inadequate' search of his killer. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13199395/Met-Police-shot-Matt-Ratana-sues-search-killer.html
