Help us hold police officers who abuse women to account

October 24, 2019 Guest User

Help us stop officers being able to use their positions to abuse women.

How can women trust the police to investigate domestic abuse when officers who are themselves guilty of such conduct continue to be protected?

For years, an officer in Gwent Police was allowed to use his position to get away with abusing women. Entrusted with the training of new recruits, he would develop relationships with junior colleagues before subjecting them to forms of controlling and coercive behaviour. Earlier this year, that officer was finally dismissed, after a disciplinary panel upheld allegations of violent and domineering behaviour made by multiple women.

Complaints made about the officer’s misconduct to Gwent Police force were ignored and mishandled. As a result, he was allowed to remain in the position while women who complained were victimised and in one instance pushed out of her job.

We are launching a legal challenge against Gwent police and their protection of a domestic violence perpetrator in their ranks. We can't go up against this police force alone and need your support.
