Revealed Police Forces Subject to Record Misconduct Complaints Amid Officer Abuse Scandals
Police forces in England and Wales logged a record number of complaint allegations last year, reaching a new high of 134,952, the equivalent to one complaint for every two serving officers. Some of the reports covered serious breaches, including officers abusing their position of power for sex, and amounts to a 24% rise on the figure recorded two years previously. Byline Times analysis also suggests that the amount of time taken to investigate serious accusations of misconduct has tripled in recent years. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which handles independent investigations of serious police misconduct, saw its average time to “finalise” an investigation rise from 130 working days in 2020-2021 to an expected 312 working days for 2023-2024. Those figures include time spent investigating by police forces themselves before a case is referred to the IOPC, meaning the delays could be due to failures at local police forces rather than the IOPC itself. Given the limited number of working days in a year, that IOPC this year will take almost a year and a quarter in real-time to complete. Campaigners said the findings demonstrated that the police complaints system was “not fit for purpose and needs a substantial overhaul”. Those 134,952 allegations in 2022-2023 amounted to 547 per 1,000 serving officers – and related to 81,142 complaints (each complaint can contain multiple allegations). In 2020-2021 the figure was just 109,151, rising the a year later to 120,694.
