Well worth a watch. Documentary on the Avon and Somerset PSD unit (Police standards Dept) and their attempted to root out the wronguns within their ranks.

What is crystal clear is that even when the police identify wronguns in their ranks the disciplinary systems simply aren't up to it. Not news to many of us but still eye opener in just how the system is so biased towards protecting the police rather than to actually holding them to account.

The final episode last night closed with the stats that less than 1% of complaints actually result in a disciplinary finding.

Yes, but *something about bad apples here*.

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

Deflection and in doing so defending a system that protects and enables rapist coppers is some take - but that's for them.

Corrupt to the core.

A dreadful story in last night's one.

Difficult to see the way forward. Criminal cases stymied by lack of evidence to pass the CPS threshholds (last night the victims of the sexual predator didn't want to give evidence in court), and by the fact that anybody who is under investigation in any organisation for misconduct can just resign and end the matter. That said, the copper last night was banned from ever policing again and was put on a sexual offenders' register.
