Alanbellend Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) Another local officer in court this week. It does sort of make you wonder that if it wasn’t for all the drink driving, ICO breaches, accessing unauthorized data, Rolex and charity stealing, and of course domestic abuse how would many of our local police officers keep themselves busy? https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/courts/isle-of-man-police-officer-accused-of-domestic-abuse-makes-appears-in-court-again-727161 This must be at least the fifth IOM Police Officer or Home Affairs employee in court in the last 2 years?

Albert Tatlock Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Nonetheless, he has not been found guilty yet remember, so don't assume guilt. Plus the timescales you're referring to go back far more than 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s some that seem to be redacted from Google too (at least one drink driver). https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/trial-for-serving-police-officer-accused-of-failing-to-provide-breath-sample/ https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/financial-crime-investigator-admits-sending-police-intel-via-whatsapp/ https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/999/police-officer-is-accused-of-dangerous-driving-while-on-duty-241974 https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/trial-for-serving-police-officer-accused-of-failing-to-provide-breath-sample/ https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/senior-analyst-accessed-documents-on-isle-of-man-police-database-without-permission-667910 Then some classics from the past referred to in the opening post. https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/police-officer-appears-charged-with-assault/ https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/999/drink-drive-police-officer-sentenced-238595 https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/999/policeman-stole-rolex-jury-hears-233579 https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/further-charges-brought-against-police-officer-accused-of-theft/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-isle-of-man-40105687 Edited 21 hours ago by Alanbellend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanbellend Posted 21 hours ago Author Share Posted 21 hours ago (edited) 11 minutes ago, WTF said: yet infers he will be then ? I clearly used the words “In court” which is entirely factual. It was an actual moderator who mentioned the word guilt. Given the small size of IOM Constabulary is there another force in the UK with such a high court appearance rate?

No, because ' not in the public interest to prosecute'. is used in every other jurisdiction in the UK. You should be please that the IOM Constabulary are accountable for their actions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except you can say that about the population as a whole, or any cross section or sub group. They’re human after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cissolt Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago The original story mentioned that the alleged was tracking the woman via the tetra radio system. How would that work? I assumed tetra was just an encrypted radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been working in the private sector for 20 odd years and never worked with anyone who has ended up in the papers for going to court for anything like stalking or domestic abuse or drink driving. I’d have thought that statistically the chances of seeing a colleague end up in court would be lower if you worked for the police than in any general private sector business. Not higher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
