Head of the IOPC police watchdog Michael Lockwood quits amid a criminal investigation into an historic allegation • Michael Lockwood has resigned amid

@Sharon Let's be perfectly honest let's evaluate the position, if the Police Watch Dog organisation isn't up to scratch, then that opens the door for corruption, the Police are a powerful organisation we the General Public [b][b][b][b][b][b]"Must Be Safe"[/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b] safe from any form of corruption overwise we are simply living in a Banana Republic run by a Gunta in fear that justice won't take place.

@senghenydd I agree but all too often the accuser is automatically believed (especially in a case of a woman acusing a man) and action immediately taken against the accused. He is now like to be presumed guilty even if (or when) proven innocent.

If an accued person denies the allegation, that amounts to an allegation that the accuser is making a false allegation. Why is that allegation ignored or taken less seriously that the original?

@Sharon Michael Lockwood quit his job amid a criminal investigation if he was innocent why did he quit he should of simply allowed himself to be suspended, however this case isn't that straightforward this article also states he was forced to resign I think he should have been suspended it's really difficult when all the facts aren't known, I agree with what you are saying up to a point and recommend we both follow this story I'm sure at a later stage more evidence will be known and we'll be in a far better position to judge what has happened, I really feel we need a faultless Police Watch Dog Organisation to keep our Police Force inline. I honestly feel the Journalist compiling this report has wondered off and not realised their mistake with the contradictions which have been made.

@MrBrownstone The Home Secretary gave him two options one he resigned or two he faced suspension whilst being investigated.

@senghenydd Why not investigate either way?

@MrBrownstone I expect a thorough investigation will take place, I certainly hope so we must have fair-play.
