Looking at the news this morning the CC of Cleveland police has been sacked, I know the CC of North Yorks has been in bother and also Cumbrian.

Just how many of the senior police officers across the county are in trouble? What does this say about the people making it to the top of the service at the moment.

Will things get worse with police commissioners?

XCP - as I understand it he's also under criminal investigation (don't know why) and is judged to have lied to the IPCC.

ewanm - but we expect better from the police don't we?

9mm - quite agree.

It seems to be common when I read police blogs that those on the ground have little respect for the political manoeuvrings of senior (and aspirant senior) officers.

This isn't intended as a plod bashing thread - I am interested in knowing why so many senior officers seem to be in trouble. Is the culture changing? What are the drivers?
