Petition background

We have lost another young police officer to suicide. We call on Government to urgently pause disciplinary proceedings, review deaths independently and introduce safeguards to ensure investigations are proportionate, timely and humane. We cannot wait for another officer to die before we act.

Additional details

We have lost another young police officer to suicide. We call on Government to urgently pause disciplinary proceedings where safe to do so, independently review suicides involving officers under investigation, examine potential failings, pause public misconduct hearings and introduce consistent disciplinary guidelines and mandatory welfare safeguards. Accountability must remain, but it must be proportionate, timely and humane. We cannot wait for another officer to die before acting.
