Sir – One of the gravest concerns that the public have regarding the performance and conduct of Thames Valley Police relates to the manner in which the multitude of complaints made annually against TVP are managed.
The vast majority are simply subjected to ‘local resolution’ combined with a steadfast determination to ensure an outcome favourable to the police that fools nobody but themselves.
How refreshing it would be if TVP could see beyond adverse reports as tantamount to threats to be stifled at all cost and begin to view them as opportunities to take stock of areas where self-improvement would be an honourable and worthwhile aim. That’s certainly what the Oxfordshire public desire and deserve.
