Complaints against police must be 'taken more seriously' to stop next David Carrick
Festus Akinbusoye, police and crime commissioner for Bedfordshire, says vetting is not enough on its own because"people who have been vetted still get through despite evidence".5:19Complaints against police officers must be"taken more seriously" to stop future cases like that of serial rapist David Carrick, a police and crime commissioner has told Sky News.
Festus Akinbusoye, the PCC for Bedfordshire, told the Beth Rigby Interviews programme that the solution"can't be just about vetting". Suggesting the process is less stringent than it should be, he said people"who have been vetted still get through despite evidence".Revealing that seven officers have been dismissed in his county alone, Mr Akinbusoye said people"like Carrick" are a"total shame to the uniform that they wear".There are"about 27 live cases" being investigated in Bedfordshire,"but not all of them are, like, rape", Mr Akinbusoye added.
"Some of them were dismissed even after they resigned because I wanted to make sure that they knew that they couldn't just choose to jump before they were pushed, and we're still going to take action anyway." Mr Akinbusoye said he was holding his county's chief constable"accountable every single month", which is also what"many other PCCs are doing".
