BRITAIN\u2019S most senior cop says red tape in the criminal justice system must be slashed to free up police to do their job.<\/p>\n

Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley stated that it now takes five times as much work to get a case before a court today than in the past 20 years.<\/p>\n

The requirement to disclose evidence and remove personal information from documents hindered officers in their frontline work.<\/p>\n

Rowley said forces must also ensure they remain neutral following Home Secretary Suella Braverman\u2019s warning about engaging in \u201cwoke causes\u201d.<\/p>\n

The London police boss said: \u201cWe have to be really careful about stepping into the political lane.<\/p>\n

However, he told a Police Superintendents\u2019 Association conference: \u201cThe public are not \u00adstupid and they can see what is operational policing and what is politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Fotheringham, president of the association, hit back at Ms Braverman\u2019s crusade against woke cops in his speech to the conference.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cShe gave examples of police activity that she felt had led to the damaging of public confidence by supposedly apolitical police forces siding with one group over another.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe references \u2018dancing and fraternising with political demonstrators\u2019, which we assume relates to police attendance at Pride.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe talks about the displaying of the progress flag and the wearing of badges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are deeply personal and passionate matters for our staff and our communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I have actually seen are plenty of examples of effective community engagement and a desire to promote and welcome inclusion in all its forms.”<\/p>\n

Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, meanwhile, agreed that too much police time was spent on \u201cclunky administrative desk work\u201d when officers should be out fighting crime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
