Sex in the Police Force?

[Mill Wheel]

I am surprised that Northumbria Police have time to fight crime, or get any paperwork done, if they all behave like their senior officers!

Daily Mirror said:

Thirteen cops at scandal-hit force probed over claims of sexual misconduct in four years

It doesn't say that any of the thirteen were guilty, but the revelations so far of the behaviour of the Chief Constable and his senior staff do not show the force in a good light.

How much is all this costing the force in terms of money and loss of public respect?

I chose the Mirror quote as it omitted some of the more lurid detail reported in the Sun and the Daily Mail!
Is the PCC likely to act after the fashion of the PCC over the Hillsborough inquiry?

Moral issues aside, the amount of work time involved, and public money covering up the scandal would seem to be the important difference here... along with the issues of TRUST, which in this instance involves some officers neglecting the vows made when they got married, while enjoying a magical degree of trust in court when giving evidence.

If for instance two bank employees were found to be cavorting on work time, I'm sure they would be hard pressed to keep their jobs (except at boardroom level perhaps), but they are not required to give their word in court when giving evidence.

I did say that I left out the more lurid tales in some of the press - but for a senior police officer to be indulging in anal sex in the car park outside? Outraging public decency? Or does it not count if the public are excluded from the car park?

Male & females meet at work at have sex shocker!

Males and females whose word is accepted in court above the defendant turn out to be human after all, and prepared to lie and cheat - just like the defendant!

Meh. stting where you eat is overrated. As long as you have a social life and interests outside work it shouldn't be necessary to look to your workplace to provide sex unless you're a sex worker.

And it shouldn't be necessary if you DO st in your own back yard to expect somebody else to foot the bill for covering it up.
The events described in my first post are the result of wrongdoing at work, in work time in some cases, and then covered up at public expense.

That's if any of it is true, of course...

But if it IS true, I take it you would not approve?
The previous Chief Constable, Ms Sim seems to confirm that it IS true...!
