The Police often feel unsupported by the government, the CJS & the public. Let’s show them that’s wrong. ‘The Police are the Public; the Public are the Police’

[Rick Prior @mpfchairman]

The Conservatives have certainly proved themselves to be NOT the party of law and order in the recent past.

I hold Teresa May, together with her trusty lieutenant Tom Winsor, almost entirely responsible for the absolute shambles the police are currently in - particularly in London where true neighbourhood policing has been decimated beyond repair, with the majority of local police stations having been sold off to plug the funding gap.

They've truly got some brass neck to make this fatuous claim. 🙄

A police officer has been misidentified and details circulated. Officer has had to relocate. So hush up, you far right feckers: stop creating them spreading lies

The head of the Police Federation forced out a senior female officer and told her that women were 'stupid' after she blew the whistle on alleged corruption, a tribunal has heard.

Gemma Fox had a promising career as the Police Federation's deputy national secretary – but claims she was ousted after accusing chief executive Mukund Krishna of financial misappropriation and corruption.

Ms Fox alleges she suffered 'acts of retaliation' – including sex discrimination and harassment – after speaking out against the federation's boss.

Mr Krishna, 46, is suspended by the organisation, which represents rank and file officers, following his arrest as part of a continuing fraud investigation.

Ms Fox, who was elected deputy national secretary in 2022, alleges Mr Krishna called her 'stupid' and told her 'I know what women are like'.

A Watford employment tribunal heard this week that one interaction in Mr Krishna's office had left Ms Fox crying, that she was the butt of jokes about female drivers and had been criticised for attending meetings online after having a baby.

She claims her position became untenable in 2024 due to high stress and she was 'alienated by colleagues and deterred from returning' after taking time off.

Despite being a member of the federation, the City of London officer received no support in legal funding towards her case, it was claimed.

A federation spokesman said: 'The Police Federation has zero tolerance for inappropriate behaviour. Part of Ms Fox's case has already been withdrawn and, out of respect for the tribunal system, we will not comment on allegations or disputed claims which remain unproven.'

Is there any Essex police around on my timeline that could help me with re uniting a retired Essex police officer with his long service good conduct 30 years service certificates ? @EssexPoliceUK it’s a long story !

Instead of constantly reposting posts with the caveat 'if true', why don't you find out first if it is true? That way, you get to learn and don't look so foolish.

The image is from a single Starbucks outlet in Singapore in an area with a majority Muslim population. It has nothing to do with the UK.

[BettyBoo @BettyBoochichi2]

@sharrond62 @CHAOS96823395 @Starbucks There’s a community note on this explaining it’s not true. Even without that, you’re a high profile account - you should fact check things like this before reposting them.

[Rick Prior @mpfchairman]

And they spent OVER a million persecuting me and @Rich_Cooke1

They truly are a bunch of despicable clowns.

[Rick Prior @mpfchairman]

To all Federated ranked police officers:

This is how @PFEW_HQ - your only available legally recognised staff association - behaves.

No concept of parity of arms, the principles of natural justice or plain fairness. No empathy. Just self-serving greed with a mindset to do everything and anything it takes to ensure the gravy train is not derailed.

And in case anyone thinks our judicial review has changed them, think again.

They continue with their corrupt approach to persecute dissenters.

Just seen an article about Mass Exodus from the Met. When a force doesn’t care about its staff that happens. Recently promoted here in Aus, personalised signed letter from Commissioner Congratulating me. 2 Promotions previously in the Met and nothing. Makes a big difference #Met

@CopMoustache Sorry to hear that. My condolences to you, your family and friends.

[Support The Blue @support70386]

@Nick_Baker777 @PolitlcsUK Quiet day. What’s one of those?
Try doing a ride along with your local officers and you might better appreciate how understaffed they already are.

Just reached the halfway point of today’s marathon, which means I’m officially halfway through my challenge!! 2.5 marathons complete… 2.5 to go!! 😀 https://t.co/xtw0awh1Tw

We had a female Sergeant arrive on parade one Early Turn, not on promotion and very quiet.

Turns out she'd driven a male probationer down a quiet road, parked up and said "this is where you kiss the Sergeant".

Last I saw her, she was leaving having been promoted to Inspector.

@stuinweymouth @BBCNews @metpoliceuk @policeconduct And I forgot to mention the public inquiry.

[Support The Blue @support70386]

@stuinweymouth @BBCNews @metpoliceuk @policeconduct No accountability? Subject to criminal investigation and misconduct hearing. Found no case to answer. Just because you disagree with the outcome doesn’t mean there is no accountability!

[COPS @UK_COPS]

Remembering PC Malcolm Walker, West Midlands Police, who died on this day in 2001 after his police motorcycle was deliberately rammed by a stolen vehicle.

@MagistratesBlog @FlintshireCC I note we have no confirmation of what is being investigated here. If it is as reported then I agree this should be dropped, however we currently only have one side of the story.

[Inspector Gadget @InspGadgetBlogs]

Without sounding churlish: MSM reporting the official line 'extra police resources deployed...' We must acknowledge there are no 'extra' police. They are simply moving 'existing' resources (correct decision) but this leaves other communities unprotected. #ThinBlueLine

Thirteen years ago today I was attending a funeral. The first of two that week.
I never met Fiona or Nicola but they died protecting us.

[COPS @UK_COPS]

Remembering PC Fiona Bone and PC Nicola Hughes, GMP, who died on this day in 2012 after being attacked when responding to a burglary.
