Petition Action

A dedicated register to track & record Police Officers charged with Sex Offences

Petition Details

Create a register where police officers and politicians are recorded when they have been charged with a sex offence or rape.

Additional Information

There is currently no register recording the numbers of police officers that have been found guilty of sexual offences on members of the public. This information is in the public interest.

Without this data being monitored it provides no way for the Police, the Home Office or the public to see the scale of the problem and work towards addressing the severity of the issue.

The police should be held to a high standard and this would help make that more fair and possible.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It is unclear whether such a register would apply to those charged or convicted of sex offences, and whether you wish for the details of individual cases to be publicly available.

You could re-submit a petition which clarifies these points.
