I worked in training and joint investigations with police. Generalising - no major issues.
Sadly, specialist training along with teams were negatively affected by cuts
Having acknowledged this, absolutely no excuse for not investigating indecent exposure

Horrendous. Didn’t want to watch it, but dh did, so I stayed put.
It’s no consolation, I know, to realise that there are bad apples in every organisation, but to think of the police harbouring such a one is particularly dreadful.

A difficult but informative watch on the process of arresting him .. yes the stats at end of documentary were monumentally shocking

From childhood I’ve had a very jaded view of the police through incidents involving my own family.

I was sobbing watching the vigil, so I turned off and watched a few funny film clips on YouTube to lift my spirits before going to bed. I despair at the misogny.

The statistics at the end of the programme were shocking. Hundreds of women have suffered sexual assault, rape and murder since Sarah's death. A chilling thought.

It’s a dreadful indictment of police forces that this sex offender was not prosecuted.
Indecent exposure has not been dismissed as ‘harmless flashing’ for years, it’s a gateway offence
The behaviour of the police at the vigil was horrific

This was heartbreaking to watch, she complied so readily to him, trusting him as a policeman.
The treatment by the police at Sarah's memorial was appalling,
