Since January 2022 we have seen 14 x cases of West Mercia Police Officers charged with offences! So…previously they turned a blind eye to Police Officer Corruption and abuse and swept it under the carpet!

Such a very poor lack of any training or just employing any old thug off the streets ! Not a high enough standard yet !

West Mercia Police have spent decades failing to address corruption and abuse by their Police Officers. It is only since the publicity around the death of Sarah Everard by PC Wayne Couzens that West Mercia Police have taken Police Officer abuse seriously. I was personally failed by West Mercia Police when they failed to help and protect me from my violent domestic abusers, because my abusers were mates with corrupt West Mercia Police Officers. Their Professional Standards Department also failed to investigate my complaints, which included evidence of Police Officer corruption, because they didn’t want the bad publicity. When will West Mercia Police take seriously the abuse of power and corruption of their Police Officers?

I‘m sorry to hear this. Three members of my family and an acquaintance were the victims of domestic violence. They were never offered any assistance by the police.
