Dear FOI Requests, further to your reply to my FoI request you provided me with the URL of the College of Policing. Extensive research into this apparently unregulated and unaccountable body determines that they have no valid part in Home Office Policy but merely make recommendations with no enforcement regime.
In this respect you have failed to provide the policy requested.

Yours sincerely,

Pat James

Dear FOI Responses, you have not provided the information requested, all you have done is erroneously directed me to another organisation who also has not provided the information requested. Can I take it that the Home Office has no means of preventing psychopaths to the uk police forces?

Dear FOI Responses, thank you for your thorough review in this matter, however, I remain deeply concerned regarding the lax manner in which recruitment takes place, which leads to the employment of dangerous psychopaths within law enforcement, which in turn is compounded by a lack of suitable monitoring and an overabundance of cover up.
