'Nottinghamshire Police WhatsApp messages reveal a toxic male culture that must be stopped'

"Having respect for all is about valuing people as individuals and treating people as they want to be treated". This is one of the values Nottinghamshire Police say people can expect from their local force.

But women do not seem to be part of the group who deserve the same respect, at least for a group of officers within the force. An exclusive article published by Nottinghamshire Live revealed the extent of 'work banter' which exists in our local police force.

The content, seen by Nottinghamshire Live, includes tasteless remarks about women in general, with some offensive and sexual messages made about fellow female officers. A long chain of messages laced with misogyny has now put Nottinghamshire Police in the spotlight at a time when policing standards across the UK have fallen under increased scrutiny.
