944 criminals working as police: thousands of goods missing from stations
DID you know that 944 serving police officers and community support officers in England and Wales have a criminal record? Not all were gained for research purposes. Offences included: burglary, causing death by careless driving, robbery, supplying drugs, domestic violence, forgery and perverting the course of justice. Among the bad apples are a chief inspector working for the Metropolitan Police. Freedom of Information requests also tell us that lots of stuff goes miusisng form police stations. Things like:
£10,000 patrol car and £30,000 private vehicle (Manchester police)
Fridge (Dunstable)
CCTV footage and a TV (West Oxfordshire)
Crumpets (Priory Road police station in Hull)
A fern and plastic plant pot (Lancashire Police)
Mannequin (Essex Police)
20-pack of toilet rolls (West Mercia)
As the Scotsman says:
Three police cars stolen from under Strathclyde officers’ noses
