Barred from serving what?

 

[Juninhoburger]

Barred from serving what?

Barred from serving in the police force ever again

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

The freemasons will make sure he's alright.

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

Where would Cleveland Police come in a league table of law breaking, bent and corrupt officers?

The Met would be clearly top, South Yorkshire would be up there too I suppose.

Going back to at least 1980, I cant remember a time when there wasnt a scandal of some sort or another with Cleveland Police.

 

[BiggEggo]

Probably move into politics. Plenty of opportunities there for crooks and perverts.

Probably one for the "do you trust the police" post, where we'll be reassured that "it's just a few bad apples"

Probably much lower than you would think. Misconduct proceedings against police officers are a matter of public record, so there are plenty of websites that publicise such information.

I spy a shoplifter in that story taking the moral high ground. What a cesspit.

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

Just a few bad apples though, isn’t it.

I think we'd be in the play-off places, with the Met and West Midlands clinching the automatic slots.

 

[Mayor Goldie Wilson]

For context, since the start of 2022 there have been 19 misconduct hearings involving Cleveland Police officers

Surprised it wasn't a learning experience for the ex chief just like it was for good old Steve.

 

[Johngannonsunderpants]

I think it's acknowledged that Cleveland is the worst police force in the country.

 

[asredastheycome]

Amazed Steve Turner can get up and criticize anybody. Not saying Veale should not be binned but cannot believe how Turner got to the position he is in.

They've been trying to incorporate/ join up North eastern police forces for quite a while now .
None of the others want any part of it.
Isn't two chiefs sacked / suspended for misconduct still a record ?

Without a legislative change it can't happen, regardless of any local willingness and the current government havent any interest in doing so.

The problems with Veale were predictable, he was investigated in Wiltshire who declined to offer him a new contract, before coming to Cleveland. PCC's don't let good, or even adequate Chief Constables leave unopposed without good reason.

He singularly set the force back 10 years, at least and the current predicament is a legacy of that.

And this current issue for him isnt the last for him either.
