Attitudes Towards the Corona Crisis in the Police Force: Results of an Employee Survey in the German State of Saxony What personal attitudes and perspectives shape police employees' view of the COVID-19 pandemic? How do they assess the dangerousness of the coronavirus as well as the handling of the pandemic by society and the media? What are their opinions on the measures to contain the pandemic – personally as well as concerning their official duties? And how does all this affect their level of mental stress? These questions are answered based on original data from a standardized survey among employees of the police in the German state of Saxony carried out between October and November 2020. The results indicate that the diversity of opinion among Saxon police employees essentially reflects the spectrum of views that was also evident in Saxony and the German public during the survey period. At the same time, police-specific peculiarities are apparent. Furthermore, the attitudes and perspectives towards the pandemic form consistent attitudinal patterns. Using cluster analysis, three different attitudinal types were found in the Saxon police: concerned interventionists, unconcerned sceptics, and hesitant conformists. These attitudinal types show consistent patterns of attitudes and perspectives on the pandemic. They also report different levels of mental stress in the performance of their duties. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the police force under the conditions of crisis and polarization. Furthermore, they have implications for leadership communication and organizational cultures in a democratic police force.

“Road Policing” as European Union Challenge Traffic accidents are an enduring problem for traffic policing in the European Union, (27+1), , even more as conseguences of traffic rules violations. Stolen vehicles are an impressive crime committed on the highways or motorways, fighted traditionally by the criminal police activity, better known as vehicles anticrime.Recent evolutions of the Police activity concept are pushing scholars and practitioners to a deeper evaluation about the effectiveness of Road Policing as a new common concept of activity, as an European Union challenge, referred to legal and operational aspects of police cooperation and Cross Border Enforcement-A new Road Policing vision is more based on the respect of rules and than only on the security of the infrastructure related to the repression of violations. The new system has to be citizen-centered , in order to guarantee traffic safety and protect roads users in all circumstances. Road Policing has an effective role in reduction of numbers of death persons on the roads as well as a clear impact on efforts against stolen vehicles trafficking and crimes, on the highways or motorways.According to the present Authors, the introduction of the new concept of “linear city” helps to better understand the real importance of the “road safety problem” and to determine effective enforcement tools.Data results about Road Policing, obtained through the creation of Police Forces networks able to use instruments of police cooperation and through the correct application of Cross Border Enforcement in joint operations, suggest a significant increasing in effectiveness, while the adoption and exportation of common best practices on road safety is a further element of strengthening of the policy. Present study findings suggest proposing to the European Commission the creation of a new European legal Body called Road Safety Agency.

IOPC review of police handling of reports concerning former PC David Carrick prior to his arrest Our thoughts are with the many women who were victims of former Metropolitan Police (MPS) Constable David Carrick’s shocking offending and we acknowledge their tremendous courage in reporting this offending to the police. The breadth and depth of his offending and the impact on all of the women affected cannot be underestimated. PC Carrick’s conduct was first referred to us in July 2021 by the MPS after it was advised by the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire (BCH) Major Crime Unit that Carrick was being investigated for an allegation of coercive or controlling behaviour and rape of a former partner. We decided that the Major Crime Unit should continue with that investigation as it provided a level of independence. Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC)	16/2/2023 News
