Rejected petition Make Police Accountable

More details

There has been an ever increasing number of incidents in which Police now longer protect the public and instead are focused on enforcing either their own view of the law or siding with Corporations.

It is time that ALL police officers were held accountable for their choices and where they cross the line, should be given the same punishment as a member of the public.

We live in a country where policing is done by consent, it's time the Police understood this.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Discipline in police forces is an operational policing matter for the relevant Chief Constable and Police and Crime Commissioner.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
