This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about disciplinary processes for individual police officers are a matter for individual police forces, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to make it a specific criminal offence for police officers not to intervene if they witness another police officer acting inappropriately, if that's something you would like to happen.

If you start a new petition you'd need to give your full name.

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