What do you expect when you select your potential officers based on diversity?

In the old days if you wanted to be a copper the local sergeant would pop round to your house for a brew, have a chat and a sneaky assessment of your suitability, he/she'd also have local knowledge of your character and circumstances on which to base their report.

These days it's based on diversity points and a casual perusal of various "databases".

Society gets the policing it deserves.

In the old days it also helped if you were a member of certain “clubs”.

Give your arse a rest. That crap is usually spouted by clueless fuqwits who were passed over for promotion - rather than attribute this to their own lack of ability they'd look for something "external" to blame.

My dad became a Policeman in 1963 at 21 and retired as a Detective Inspector after 35 years of service - He never joined a Golf Club and certainly wasn't a Freemason.

There aren't any local sergeants anymore in London as the police can't afford to live where they work.

You’re the one saying the problem with the police is diversity and inclusion.
Yes, David Carrick definitely looks like he was chosen to tick all the right boxes.

But glad to see you were allowed to sit in when your dad was interviewed for the job.

Dave "the B&stard" doesn't look all that diverse to me, does he have a Jamaican granny? I suppose being a white male smarmy scumbag is a minority in Lambeth & Tower hamlets though.

Point is he was being called that openly at the station so his colleagues knew there was something iffy about him. There were 9 complaints brought to the Police's attention. Somewhere along that line someone should have acted.

I'm assuming they are all DBS checked but that doesn't cover accusations, there is some mileage that may by disgruntled criminals but these were ex partners. Accusations should be reviewed properly, I assume they have the equivalent of internal affairs as in the US? A separate organisation policing the police officers.

Sadly using informal vetting methods as mentioned normally results in candidates having a rolled up trouser leg, apron and assaulting a chicken / being related to existing officers or similar. We want to avoid that by actually properly assessing them and doing that continuously. I mean all those nice police officers that helped Jimmy & co abuse kids or pushed people down the stairs for being black etc. probably had the tea & biscuits interview treatment.

How's that working out for you?

I would suggest that Dave "the B&stard" got in because of the lack of "local knowledge" I doubt he suddenly became abusive because he became a copper.
