Watched your report, of how women who TRY to report rape are spoken to. Sadly I tried but detectives response was it was all a waste of tax payers money! Couldn’t believe my ears. So I pursued it but their determination to brush it under the carpet prevailed. I was

    I was 19 or 20 years old. I am now 53. I worked part time in a shop and shared a flat in town with [redacted for legal reasons]. This particular Saturday they had gone home for the weekend for a night out with friends. On the Saturday night,

I was a new Police Constable within the force, another officer who I knew from college, added me on Snapchat. To begin with, he would ask how the job was going, he then turned the conversation sexual, telling me he was ‘horny’ and asking if wanted to watch him ‘play’?.

It was frowned upon to be a tattle tell, back in the day, so I didn’t. Someone told on my behalf, I’ve never known who. A police night out went wrong for me, a supervisor (unpopular and a lot older than me) wanted to phone for a taxi and asked

I was assaulted by a male relative who grabbed me round the throat and tried to lift me off the ground. He had installed himself in my mother’s home, declared himself her next of kin and carer, and blocked all of her friends, relatives, and neighbours from seeing her. She

I was a special constable and I saw far too much of dishonest serving police officers, this includes drink driving, beatings and reports of drug finds suddenly being significantly less than what was initially reported. Personally a traffic officer from Bodmin decided to stalk and harass me, parking outside my

I lived with a serving police officer for 11yrs, we had a child together and we both had other children from previous relationships. My older children lived with us. He was verbally and physically abusive. I visited A & E depts on a number of occasions and also stayed at

I met this man [redaction made for legal reasons] when he contacted me and expressed an intention to work with a greenbelt protection group I belonged to. He had retired from the police service a couple of years previously. He used his [redacted for legal reasons] email and phone to

I met a senior officer through community work who charmed me into a casual affair. I was a willing participant initially but when I said it was over, he raped me. He said he would decide when it would be over, not me. There was no point reporting it, he

I was arrested [redacted for legal reasons] and brought into a police station in a van. Yet two of the male officers who were at my house followed me on Twitter before I’d even left the police station. I was stunned to see the notifications on my phone when I

I reported my controlling ex to Police after he was threatening my job etc and two males arrived because I had told police I was suicidal. When they left, one continued to text me and kept complimenting me, asking what gym I went to and if he could follow me

This is not a story of abuse or assault but just the alarming racism and misogyny normalised in the police force. My car broke down on a high speed road and the RAC advised I call the police first. One officer was so polite to me on the phone with

My 20 something year old daughter lost her driving licence at Nottinghill Carnival. She was called by a police officer to say he had found it and collect it from an address. She went to the address and it was a derelict office building. When she arrived she called me

I was on a dating site for hook ups. Got a message from a police officer. He introduced himself as an officer, said I was ‘safe’ with him and said he was good with handcuffs. He had half naked photos wearing enough of his police uniform to show he was

On a night out in a bar, lots of cops on team nights out. Got chatting to a group of male officers, one of whom took quite an interest in me. He was attractive, I was flattered. I remember one of his mates saying ‘watch out, he likes the vulnerable

Driving home from a night out, completely sober and alone. 2 x male Officers pulled me over having followed me for several miles with no headlights on, and then put on the blues out of nowhere. I was terrified (aged 20). They aggressively questioned me and threatened to arrest me

During 2018 I was very depressed due a a close relative passing away 18 months before. The police officer messaged me online, saying he’d also suffered cancer and I could message him anytime for support, I could trust him as he worked for the police and was not (in his

I was stopped by the police when I was sixteen and a friend was driving, the police offered to give me a lift home as my friend was arrested. On the trip home they told me how sexy I was and did I want to hook up with them. I

Shortly after giving birth, my ex husband began raping me whilst I was asleep and then became aggressive when I woke and told him to stop. I suffered lots of bruising (of which I have photos) and I was an absolute wreck and not sleeping, and when I tried to

Roundabout 1993, at 17 years old I was living with my first serious boyfriend. We didn’t have the best relationship and at times he would turn very violent. One day, we had a huge row and my boyfriend picked up a very large, very heavy glass ashtray (the sort they

I was a member of the first aid team at a football club in Fife. (I was a member of St Andrew’s Ambulance Corps – I had started training in first aid as part of the bronze award for the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.) At the time I was
