I am not speaking on behalf of @WecopsCaroline at all. But simply representing as she won’t say it herself. A few years back - a new promoted Caz was sharing concerns & a lack of female representation. Now years as an experienced PO commander, she’s addressing that gap. 👏

@Brick_Cop @metpoliceuk 100%. LEE armed with a knife against his partner. Suspected hostage situation, unconfirmed. TFC declined to declare & deploy ARV. Me and my Insp asked for urgent review. Didn’t happen. I & colleague deployed, almost lost my life. It needs to change.

@andygeorgeni It isn’t fair to make any racial claim until a find out by thorough investigation without any bias to the fact. I’m afraid (and I’ve called it out on other incidents) I do feel it was too soon to do so without the facts. And this rebuttal is obvious & clear.Await final outcome.
