Braverman must apologise to women and girls for police dropping complaints 

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the figures that show police forces drop most complaints of officer violence against women, Liberal Democrat Chief Whip and former Police Officer, Wendy Chamberlain MP said: 

“These statistics tell us what millions of women and girls already know. Across the country, they look to the police to protect them and ultimately the buck stops with the Home Office to fix this crisis. 

“Violence against women and girls has no place in our society, not least in the police forces that are meant to keep us all safe.

“We need swift action from Suella Braverman, including a promise to tighten vetting and investigation regulations. But first, she needs to apologise for the Government and police forces letting women and girls across the country down."
