Police officer who kept list of attractive workers sacked - BBC News

A police officer has been sacked for misconduct offences including keeping a list of female colleagues he found attractive. Ch Insp Paul Crouch, from British Transport Police (BTP), also remarked he was aroused while reading about the sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl, a tribunal heard. It was told the London-based officer had been sexist over a 10-year period. He was dismissed without notice on Friday following the hearing in Camden. (...)

Ch Insp Crouch also sexually harassed a female colleague over the same 10-year period. This included "smelling her hair and rubbing his thighs in her presence" and he also made remarks to another female colleague about her "appearance, weight and attractiveness".

We all know it's not just the Met, but this analysis by the FT of figures from the IOPC appears to show some farces, eg GMP, have even worse levels of complaint. Clearly there are discrepancies in data gathering, and some forces reckon that complainers are more confident in coming forward in their area, so like is not always being compared with like. More research is needed.

Police complaints data highlight widespread misconduct claims
Figures from forces across England and Wales suggest issues run much deeper than London’s Metropolitan Police

<snippage> Nearly half of the 44 forces across England and Wales received more corruption and sexual misconduct complaints from members of the public, relative to their size, than the Met in the seven years to 2020, according to the data.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) recorded around twice as many complaints as the Met in both categories. The Home Office classes the two forces as peers based on the crime-related demographic, social and economic characteristics of the areas they police.

GMP and West Yorkshire Police, another official peer of the Met, both received discrimination reports at a similar rate to the London force, around 60 per 1,000 employees. West Midlands Police — another peer force — recorded 35.

Officers in Dorset said relatives of teenager Gaia Pope were "taking the piss" after they made a series of desperate calls when she was missing.

They'd explained that she had been sent indecent images and that they'd triggered a severe mental health episode. She had PTSD after being raped at 16.

On 1 April 2022, the Metropolitan Police’s Roads and Transport Policing Command's Police Community Support Officer Kevin Phillips, a 56 year-old married father-of-two of Milton Road, Croydon, appeared before Croydon Magistrates’ Court where he pleaded guilty to outraging public decency after he was filmed by a member of the public masturbating in public after he took a break from his shift on 30 March 2022 at Dog Kennel Hill park in East Dulwich. The footage showed Police Community Support Officer Kevin Phillips in uniform looking at his phone and masturbating while sitting on a bench in broad daylight.

A 14-year-old menstruating mixed race and autistic girl who was forcibly strip-searched by officers from the Metropolitan Police was left traumatised by the incident and later tried to kill herself, her mother says:

The incident happened in December 2020, the same month that a 15-year-old black girl known as Child Q was strip-searched while menstruating by Metropolitan Police officers at her school in Hackney, while this person was in charge.

On 8 April 2022, she was met with applause and cheers of "hip, hip, hooray" as she walked through a guard of honour outside Scotland Yard ahead of her last day in the job that weekend.

Her legacy lives on.

The Metropolitan Police has made a further eight voluntary referrals to the Independent Office for Police Conduct involving strip searches of children aged between 14 and 17:

‘We have nothing to hide’: Police Federation calls for footage to be released of Black pensioner hospitalised after arrest

“How can it be right or fair for police officers to be put on trial by social media?’ chairman of Metropolitan Police Federation asks​

It has now been reported that the Metropolitan Police have dropped their criminal investigation into 70-year-old Jamaican pensioner Errol Dixon who weighs around eight stone, is 5ft 6ins tall and who has had multiple strokes, heart problems and is also on blood-thinning tablets. Errol Dixon suffered a broken nose and a fractured eye socket after he stopped by police for a broken brake light. He was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker and later released under investigation.

(Source: as stated in image)​

Following the publicity of 70-year-old Mr Dixon's injuries, Ken Marsh, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation claimed that his colleagues were being 'subjected to trial by social media' and described allegations that the Metropolitan Police officers involved had assaulted Mr Dixon as "unsubstantiated and frankly false".

The Independent Office for Police Conduct is continuing to investigate the "unsubstantiated and frankly false" allegations against the police officers involved in inflicting the injuries to Mr Dixon.

it's been clear for some time that the auld chants of 'police protect the fascists' or similar don't really hit the spot, everyone knows it's true but like the foolishness in chanting 'shame on you' at the cops when everyone knows they have no shame. police not only protect misogynists, rapists, racists and nonces but so often are nonces, rapists, misogynists, racists. maybe chants on demonstrations in the future should reflect this reality, which i suspect would rile and prickle them somewhat more than generic faded and painless chants of them protecting fascists which have been heard on demonstrations for more years than i care to think about

Having stated as recently as March 2022 that the Metropolitan Police's approach to corruption is not fit for purpose, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services has now placed the institutionally racist, institutionally corrupt Metropolitan Police into special measures followed the uncovering of a litany of new “systemic” failings in fighting crime and serving victims, which include nearly 70,000 crimes going unrecorded and making errors on stop and search with the grounds for one quarter of stops not recorded, in addition to a number of highly publicised cases of misconduct and abuse of powers:
