There were numerous complaints about 'various' in Cressida Dxxx's time - as well as poor performance and lots of criticism by various Home Secretaries - and nothing was done, she remained in post and no doubt now draws a large inflation proof pension. There was the murderr of Sarah Everard who was killed by a Police Officer who had a whole load of 'Red Flags' against him. There were BIG mistakes in the various operations failing to 'catch' Saville, and attempting to prosecute various others (Field Marshall Lord Brammall, Leon Brittan, Harvey Proctor etc.) on the evidence of one highly dubious accuser (who eventually turned out to be making it all up). Somehow the seniors in the Police Service seem to be largely untouchable. One wonders if they have too much dirt on the politicians? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 I know a few serving and retired police officers off here with one being a fantastic honest guy who’s become a great friend who I trust . After having 5 police officers investigated over my arrest I’m afraid I struggle to trust them. I even had them on video harassing me but nothing was done . Yes my ex wife and her affair were removed but they refused to arrest them . Why . My mum even released a book about it on Amazon. They even admitted they knew it was lies in the station and had told my wife to stop lying but yet they still arrested me , took 6 weeks to hand in the paperwork to be read by the cps and bailed me for 3 months while their inspector lived in my house during lockdown. 2 officers harassed my 70 year old parents but it was never logged . They need a shake up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Bad apples, who hardly represent the average copper. That said, complaints need to be properly and fairly investigated. If there is any wrongdoing, action should be severe and swift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the many I know now ( all retired ) and get on fairly well with, I am wary of what I talk about in front of, I simply don’t trust any of them. I really should write that book!

AULD YIN Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 It will never stop till the police are taken out of the investigation of the police, remember most wear the desecrated (charity )union flag as the thin blue line gang badge for fallen officers and dependants ,no badge is worn for the members of the public killed by the police Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Yet again, again...twice in one day... Met Police chief inspector found dead at home was facing charges over child abuse images Quote The body of Met Police chief inspector Richard Watkinson was discovered by colleagues who had gone to his address because they were concerned about his welfare. The Sun reports when officers arrived at the 49-year-old's house they found a body. Police are said to be treating his death as "unexplained", but not suspicious. A source told The Sun it is suspected Watkinson was involving in his death while under "huge mental strain" due to the case. Toxicology tests are being carried out to establish his cause of death. The coroner has been informed and an inquest will take place at a later date. It is believed that Watkinson was due to report back on bail last Thursday to be charged over an alleged network of online paedophiles. He is said to have feared he was about to be publicly named in connection with the alleged conspiracy to distribute indecent images of children. A Met Police spokesperson said: "Met officers attended an address in Buckinghamshire on the afternoon of Thursday, 12 January following welfare concerns and found the body of a man in his 40s'." A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: "Officers were called to Saunderton, Princes Risborough, at just after 3.35pm on Thursday 12 January. "Sadly, the body of a man was located inside a property at that location. The man's death is unexplained but not suspicious. A file will be prepared for the coroner. "His next of kin have been made aware and our thoughts are with the man's family and friends." Watkinson was first arrested in July 2021 when it is alleged that up to thousands of indecent images were allegedly discovered in a secret room at his home. His arrest stunned his colleagues, as he was a popular figure and was nicknamed "Sir Smashy" after a Harry Enfield character by lower ranking officers on the Met's West Area Basic Command Unit where he worked. He was originally held over allegations of misconduct in public office, sending obscene messages, corrupt exercise of police powers and data protection breaches. It followed a joint investigation by the Met's professional standards unit and the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) and the Met's professional standards unit. When officers searched the suspect's home, they are said to have found a secret trap-door which led to an area containing computer equipment. It is alleged child sexual abuse images were found on the computers, and the material was judged to be category the two most serious levels. After the alleged discovery of the illegal material, Chief Inspector Watkinson was further arrested 11 days later. His arrest was on suspicion of several offences, including conspiracy to distribute indecent images of children, voyeurism and misconduct in public office. He was released on bail and suspended from duties while an investigation was carried out by the Met's specialist crime officers working with officers in Scotland and Lincolnshire. Last week, officers charged two men with conspiracy to distribute or show indecent images of children. They are due to appear in court shortly. One former colleague said: "He was a popular governor and his arrest caused a great deal of shock. "There was talk of thousands of images and videos being found behind a trap door in his home. "He had been under huge mental strain while he was on bail and there were concerns that he was suicidal. "The worst fears for his health have now been realised and he was found dead last week. It is suspected he killed himself." Edited January 17, 2023 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, but there are now apparently 800 Metropolitan Police Officers being investigated for a thousand sexual offences. Something needs to be changed and as said above, it is always the Police investigating the Police!

Dave-G Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 "Anything you say may be twisted around and used in evidence" was my experience of some plod many years ago. I've learned to smile and say sweet FA that can be twisted by a small proportion of them because its difficult to know who can be trusted. Most of us can see the police have lost lost all common sense aside from trust these days with how they indulge BLM, Climate Change, Just Stop Oil etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
