COPS...& ABUSERS

|July 20, 2025
MORE than a thousand police officers were accused of domestic violence in the past three years but hardly any got the chop.
Just 69 officers lost their jobs or voluntarily quit over abuse allegations, despite 1,240 complaints being logged.
Some forces with a slew of serious reports failed to sack a single officer.
Our figures, obtained under Freedom of Information laws, came as the government pledged £50million to tackle violence against women and girls.
The Metropolitan Police, Britain's largest force, recorded 523 abuse allegations against staff in 20222024, yet only 53 got the boot. Across the other 28 forces that responded to our requests, 16 officers were dismissed over the same period.
Twenty Hertfordshire officers were accused of domestic violence but all were allowed to keep their jobs.
Of the 14 complaints logged by West Midlands Police, just one was asked to undertake "reflective practice".
