James Ford: Hertfordshire Police officer who raped child is jailed

  1. “After his conviction, Assistant Chief Constable Genna Telfer said she was “disgusted” by Ford’s actions and **warned he would face a fast-track dismissal hearing.”**

    So being convicted of raping a child multiple times is not a reason for instant dismissal in the police force

    I’ll leave you all to ponder what crimes don’t qualify for the fast track procedure!

  2. I know the number as a total of all police officers will remain proportionally low but I’ve seen so many similar stories relating to police officers lately. It does make you wonder what the real picture actually is given the low reporting rates for crimes such as these.

  3. Another one who only joined the police force a couple of years ago, if you read the article. So desperate are they to boost numbers that they are foregoing not just vetting, but any form of quality control in the form of interviews, tests, character assessments etc.

  4. This guy deserves his 18 years, but seriously, wiping your own phone now amounts to perverting the course of justice? Are we all legally required to retain self-incriminating data?
