46 complaints of police violence towards women among 'alarming' national data

Forty six complaints were made against Merseyside Police officers and staff relating to violence against women and girls in the last 18 months.

Figures published by Merseyside Police revealed since October 2021 there had been 46 complaints and 44 misconduct allegations against police employees. In the last six months to February, 22 unique cases and 32 allegations were made, equating to 0.5% of the police workforce.

Merseyside Police yesterday revealed its data after the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) published its own figures into national progress in tackling violence against women and girls. The report covers data supplied by police forces across the UK between October 2021 and March 2022.
