In this episode, Laura provides comprehensive insights into the reviews commissioned in Nicola Bulley's case, shedding light on five crucial aspects. Discover the roles played by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the Independent Office for Police Conduct, and the College of Policing.
Nicola Bulley, a devoted mother of two young girls, mysteriously disappeared on January 27, 2023, in St Michael on Wyre, Lancashire. With bizarre and intriguing circumstances surrounding her case, initial police hypotheses suggested her presence in the water. At a press conference on February 15, Detective Superintendent Rebecca Smith, the Senior Investigating Officer at Lancashire Police HQ, revealed Nicola's high-risk status and undisclosed "specific vulnerabilities."
Subsequently, Lancashire Police released information disclosing Nicola's "significant issues with alcohol," believed to be linked to her "ongoing struggles with the menopause."
The revelation sparked widespread concern, drawing attention from notable figures like the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, and Home Secretary, Suella Braverman. Even the Information Commissioner demanded an explanation from Lancashire Police regarding their decision-making process. After three months, the ICO and the Independent Office for Police Conduct released their findings.
Join Laura as she delves into these findings, analyzes the PR campaign orchestrated by Lancashire Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner, and scrutinizes the College of Policing Review. Engage in a thought-provoking exploration of whether the practice of police marking their own homework can truly yield accountability and drive meaningful change.
