PC Griffiths from Notts sharing his own personal experience with the Home Secretary.... let's hope experiences like his go some way to the IOPC waking up and seeing first hand how untimely investigations affect families, fingers crossed the government push time limits! #Polfed18 https://t.co/SE348dNStq
Question asked: Does the Home Sec agree that every police officer needs a degree? "No I don't", replies Sajid Javid. Applause. #PolFed18 https://t.co/lQvLblptul
Q: I was under an IOPC investigation. It took six years. You talk about protecting us, will you protect us and put a time limit on these investigations? #Polfed18
Home Secretary tells conference he thinks it’s ridiculous that some Chief Constable’s won’t provide spit guards to officers due to prioritising public perceptions over officer safety. #Polfed18
...Home Sec replies on spit guards: "I don’t know if can mandate chiefs. (But) I completely agree. I think it is ridiculous that any chief would put public perception before police officers' protection. It is plainly ridiculous.” #PolFed18
An officer with just 6months was subject to an investigation by the @IOPC_Help @policeconduct which took 6 years. He now has 7yrs service. Q to @sajidjavid if he’ll pledge to seek to have a time limit placed on such investigations. #ProtectingTheProtectors#Polfed18
It's worrying some @PoliceChiefs still won't introduce Spithoods. I'm pleased to say @StaffsPolice fully support Spithoods. Every Cop is issued them. Good point by @sajidjavid whose astounded some Chiefs put public perception before safety of Cops #PolFed18#ProtectTheProtectors
Home Secretary @sajidjavid has put timely IOPC investigations at the top of his agenda for his meeting with the IOPC Director General, after he recognises the huge problems these delays cause to officers and their families. #polfed18
Home Sec throws his support behind spit guards. To applause he tells #PolFed18: "I think it is ridiculous that any chief would put public perception before police officers' protection. It is plainly ridiculous.” #PolFed18
