'Police legitimacy is hanging by a thread.'
Lee Freeman is the Chief Constable of Humberside Police.This week has been one of the darkest weeks for policing that I have known in 29 years of being a police officer, and I am certain that it has been uncomfortable viewing for many others.
Here in Humberside, I feel that we have a collective responsibility to reflect and recognise that the events in London also directly impact on us and how our communities see us.I feel that the case of Carrick, along with other prominent cases that regrettably precede it, means police legitimacy is hanging by a thread.
Some colleagues knew what he was like and would not have been surprised when this came out – are we 100% confident that this would not happen here?Over the years, I have heard many colleagues talk about these issues involving only a small minority in policing – and whilst this may be the case – I believe we have now lost the right to say this until misogynistic, predatory and discriminatory behaviour is more effectively identified, challenged and preventedThis is both a national and a local...
Furthermore, if every female colleague within our own organisation is not completely free from being subjected to a culture of objectification, lewd and sexist comments and misogynistic actions and behaviours, this trust will continue to erode.I completely accept that the vast majority of colleagues reading this will immediately feel that none of the incidents locally represent them or how they conduct themselves.
I know there are wider issues in society, and the proposition that policing reflects this to some extent has been made. I have also heard colleagues cite how other sectors have all had their individual cases where their position of trust has been used to cause harm. I genuinely believe that the future of policing by consent is under threat, unless we regain public trust and confidence in the behaviour of every single one of us.
The Home Secretary has already announced a review of police misconduct procedures, in response to the position policing finds itself in. 3. I expect every member of staff in Humberside to call out and challenge behaviours that are misogynistic, unwelcomed and not consistent with treating one another with professionalism, dignity, respect, compassion and empathy
