QUOTE (pbonnay @ May 19 2013, 05:42 PM) To that, I would include the behaviour of many who hold senior positions in our public services (e.g. BBC and local authorities). After yet another scandal where people have suffered, I am sick and tired of hearing "we will learn the lessons.." etc. We do not pay these people such huge salaries for them to be on a learning curve. They are meant to be the top people in their field, experienced and competent. While I do agree with you, not every scenario can be foreseen and if one is at the enviable position where one can know and can foresee everything then I hear there may be a space or two available in the godhood... People are people and mistakes will always be made. The test comes from learning from and not repeating them. |

QUOTE (newres @ Apr 15 2013, 03:34 PM) There were 2,183 complaints against Thames Valley Police recorded by the IPCC in 2011. There were a total of 34,000 complaints made against all 43 police forces. I would suggest that this figure would indicate that Thames Valley Police have at least their fair share of misconduct. So the assumption is not ridiculous as the evidence is there. The making of a complaint does not make it either a true or b substantiated. That particular figure is evidence only of the number of complaints against Thames Valley Police recorded by the IPCC. And only in one year. It does not specify how many were substantiated or what categories (I.e corruption, excessive force, incivility etc) and is not sufficient data to provide any evidence in support of, well, anything. |
