Political ‘reform’ of policing has failed to address the ‘endemic poison’ within the service’s culture
OPINION: Former Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy believes that many of the ‘reforms’ of policing over the past 20 years – including the introduction of PCCs and the College of Policing, and the closure of the Police Leadership College – have weakened the service’s ability to develop long-term strategies or a professional independent voice, and failed to address the deeply embedded issues of misogyny and racism in police culture.
