Who Blew the Whistle?
Rumours swirled that Thames Valley Police tipped off the Home Office before today’s big arrest tied to their misconduct hunt. But the truth? It wasn’t a cosy heads-up from Thames Valley at all.
NPCC Puts the Record Straight
The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) quickly fired back with a no-nonsense statement. They said the Home Office was informed as part of routine protocol — and not directly by Thames Valley Police.
“In line with routine practice, the National Police Chiefs’ Council alerted operational colleagues within the Home Office of the arrest. This gave 30 minutes’ notice before Thames Valley Police made the arrest.”
Just Standard Procedure, No Favouritism
The Home Office got a quick 30-minute warning before the arrest went down. No secret leaks or special treatment — just normal procedure doing its job.
