To catch a copper

I agree Eloethan. I was underwhelmed by the consequences for the behaviours ( a view shared by their superiors ) I share your dismay at the outcome of the accusations of sexual assault as it seems that the female complainant was vilified- the old story in such cases.
The only good thing is that we have been allowed access to these matters.

I appreciate being a police officer must be difficult and the vast majority of police are good, however the ones on the show were appalling.

Even worse was how they got away with it after an investigation.

It’s a hard watch.
Unfortunately a large proportion of policing is dealing with mental illness.
I’m not condoning their behaviour but it must be very frustrating when so many man hours are swallowed up because care in the community does not work.

That Officer, who had PTSD, said he had it because of the strain of the job and that was why he couldn't resist the woman's advances. Doesn't explain why he gave her a lift home though, which is totally against policy. The second programme is supposed to show how they deal with allegations of racist, but really it's about how they deal with vulnerable people again. The man in custody repeatedly complained of headaches and a painful neck, which were brushed off and he later had an aneurysm. The justification for their behaviour was that "they are not medically trained." No, but there would always be a Police Surgeon on call who is!

I feel very sorry for the ordinary police officers who would never dream of behaving like this. I also fail to understand why Sarah Crew allowed this programme to be made. If she knows (which she clearly does) that there is a problem, why on earth wasn't it dealt with, without putting it into the public arena? That's her flippin' job surely.
