Hundreds of police officers, some with prior convictions and 'close' links to criminals, have been wrongly recruited

[Social Media]

Hundreds of people have joined the police in the past three years who should never have passed their background checks, it has been revealed.

Matt Parr, the boss of HM Inspectorate of Constabulary, has said many officers failed to declare “big red flags” such as “prior convictions”.

He said some have had “links with criminals that are too close and not explained” and were “not being entirely honest on their application”.

One in 10 officers looked at by Mr Parr’s team should never have made it through vetting, he said, and while it was not a random sample, it still amounts to hundreds of people who shouldn’t have been hired.

Not out of the realms of possibility that criminal outfit are sending their 'moles' to infiltrate the police force and other government bodies for the obvious reasons...

Saw this topic on the AN sidebar. Thought it was about Thailand. But it's the UK. Hmmm. Not much difference, apparently.

The party of law and order fires 20,000 serving officers ten starts recruiting crooks and others unfit to serve in the police force.

Is the lowering of Police standards done to make sure the Police force is diversive and all inclusive ?

You would have to ask the tory government.

 

It seems that now they are following Putin's methodology- empty the prisons and put the ex-cons to work for the state.

No, ex cons are not being put into the UK Police force and its not the government that screens the Police officers , the police to that themselves  .
