WickedsDesire -> Hundreds of police accused of sexual exploitation (12/8/2016 12:02:26 AM)
More than 300 police officers have been accused of using their position to sexually exploit people, including victims of crime, a report has said. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary said abuse of authority for sexual gain was now the "most serious" form of corruption facing police in England and Wales. The watchdog's figures were gathered over two years to the end of March. The National Police Chiefs' Council described the problem as a "disease". It acknowledged that more needed to be done to "root it out and inoculate policing for the future". Chief Constable Stephen Watson, the NPCC's lead for counter-corruption, said: "It is the most serious form of corruption and it can never be justified or condoned." The HMIC was asked to investigate the extent of the problem earlier this year, by the then Home Secretary Theresa May. It found that 306 officers, 20 PCSOs and eight police staff were involved in 436 reported allegations. The data also showed all but one constabulary had received at least one allegation, and that almost 40% of accusations involved victims of domestic abuse. Other people who were allegedly exploited were thought to include arrested suspects and people with drug or alcohol problems. Other findings outlined in the report: Fewer than half (48%) of the 436 reported allegations had been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission There was an "apparent disconnect" between the numbers of alleged cases and any subsequent staff dismissals Officers did not have a "sufficiently clear understanding" of boundaries around establishing or pursuing relationships with vulnerable people Some counter-corruption units did not have the ability or capacity to seek information about potential cases Almost half of forces inspected were unable to audit or monitor the use of all IT systems, which limited the ability to spot any staff accessing databases to identify vulnerable victims http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38240524 https://www.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmic/wp-content/uploads/peel-police-legitimacy-2016.pdf
