Police sexual misconduct complaints skyrocket – but half of claims go uninvestigated

Police complaints being increasingly investigated has been increasingly happening over the years, stemming from the cuts the Tories made.
There isn’t the resources or the expertise in place to properly investigate the complaints or do a thorough job, and the backlog just keeps increasing. In the meantime, officers that are potentially dodgy are still on the job, and public confidence in the police suffers.
Slashing public services and throwing the money to pensioners for votes has been utterly disastrous for us as a country.
