RtP was originally started to record my campaign to have @policescotland introduce active suicide intervention training for all custody staff. Now all police officers and staff are trained as to what to do when a person is found trying to take their own life in police cells.
Crimes are solved, by straight forward, methodical, enquiry. They are not solved, when there are insufficient police, to do that.
*THREAD* Yesterday our car was stolen. We called the police and they said they would list the car as stolen to see if it pinged up, but the chances of recovering it was slim to none. We decided to try and find it ourselves...
You are walking your dog. A police officer arrests you, points a taser at you & kicks you. He then admits mistaken identity. Are you happy with only an apology?
A police officer who was cleared of assaulting a man while attempting to catch a thief will face a misconduct hearing, his force has said. Last year, PC Alan Kirkwood was found not guilty during a trial at Nottingham Crown Court of assaulting Scott Barratt in 2023 after…

The Post Office spent £98m defending compensation claims from subpostmasters. The subpostmasters didn't get legal aid.
13 suicides & 10,000 people affected by the Post Office/Horizon scandal. It was a joy to see every victim was smiling as they gave interviews, knowing how much everything is finally falling into place for them & apart for those responsible.
Every time a police officer commits suicide during a misconduct investigation, the OIC of the investigation needs to be held to account. Did they ensure welfare checks? Was the investigation fair? Was any undue pressure put on the officer?
Chanting "death to" is apparently acceptable when it is against someone not liked, but unacceptable when against someone liked. How will @BobbyVylan react to calls for his death?
WHY YOUNG COPS MAKE MISTAKES Skill fade, stress, and rigid rules don’t mix. Let’s talk about why junior officers often get it wrong—and why blame isn’t always fair.🧵
The rest of the world stand in awe at the British police (and a few other countries), who will deal with violent incidents, unarmed and with minimal injury, arrest the offender so that they can face justice.
