A leading police figure has opened up about the struggles of dealing with hate and 'vile' comments as a woman working in public service. Nottinghamshire's Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Caroline Henry has talked about the moments when she found it difficult to face the negativity on social media.
She took up the role officially on May 13, 2021, and is due to serve until 2024. She described herself as a 'political woman' as she shared the downside of the role in an interview with Nottinghamshire Live.
She said: "I am quite sensitive. I struggled at first. People can sit and think they can say many things behind their keyboards."
