SUSSEX POLICE - SEX OFFENDERS, DEATHS, SHOOTING

ATLANTIS STORY MAP & OPERATION HOMEPAGE

Today (16th January 2022) a police officer with the Metropolitan Police, David Carrick, has admitted to 49 rape and sexual offences against 12 women. Carrick exploited his position as a police officer to abuse women in the most horrific of ways, and intimidated them into silence by telling them no one would believe them.

The Metropolitan Police, who were aware of allegations but took no action, have admitted to errors, stating that he should never have been allowed to join the force and they had failed to spot the threat he posed to women. In October 2022, the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) and College of Policing published a review of themes, learnings and recommendations on police-perpetrated violence against women and girls. In November His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) published its report on vetting, misconduct, and misogyny in the police service, highlighting the scale of the problem and making a number of recommendations. We urge the Met Police and other forces to address these failings as a matter of urgency by implementing these recommendations with transparency.

Sussex police are funded by Council Taxes collected by umpteen district local authorities, some of which bear grudges and indulge in vendettas. Your money goes to East Sussex County Council, where much of it does not go to investigating important planning crime, where town planners are on the make. What does appear to happen is that large chunks of voters money goes to whitewashing crimes that are inconvenient, and they don't want the voting public to know about. This means more taxes for the general public and less value for money in sustainable terms. But that is the system our fictional characters: Charley Temple, Jill Bird, the Terramentals and John Storm are up against. Big business, versus the little man.

In this context, the police, including the Met and Scotland Yard, are for hire. Including manipulation of the Courts, if the financial stakes are high enough. It's all about public perception. The last thing the United Kingdom wants is protests. People asking awkward questions around election time. Be careful then not to rock the boat. You might be the State's next target. You, your family and friends.

We need police to stop murderers and drug smugglers, and deal with immigration. They failed to protect Sharna Grice, and immigration is a contentious issue, while they have not scratched the surface to stop drugs reaching the streets. Let alone deal with alcohol abuse.

Warrants and Device Seizures

Sussex Police, like all UK forces, should follow strict legal procedures when applying for warrants to seize computers or mobile phones.

These warrants must be authorised by a magistrate and supported by sworn evidence showing probable cause. A recent Freedom of Information request revealed that Sussex Police does not issue warrants themselves—they are court orders—and that the force must comply with judicial standards, including providing affidavits and ensuring proper identification of the accused.

However, concerns have been raised about how rigorously these standards are upheld. The same FOI response noted that complaints had been filed regarding the use of handcuffs and delays in presenting arrestees before a magistrate, which could point to broader procedural issues.

Eastbourne and Lottbridge Drove

Lottbridge Drove in Eastbourne has appeared in local news primarily in connection with traffic incidents and emergency responses, such as a serious collision involving a cyclist and two cars in late 2024.

Miscarriages of Justice and Sussex Police

Sussex Police has faced scrutiny over several high-profile failings. Most notably, the force issued a formal apology in 2024 for its mishandling of the 1986 “Babes in the Wood” murders. The original investigation led to the wrongful acquittal of Russell Bishop, who went on to commit further crimes. The force also wrongly arrested Nicola Fellows’ father in 2009, an act for which they later apologised 3.

Additionally, a report revealed that 27 criminal charges were brought against Sussex Police officers over five years, including for sexual assault, fraud, and perverting the course of justice. While not all resulted in convictions, the data underscores ongoing concerns about accountability within the force.

There’s quite a troubling pattern in those cases, and they’ve each drawn serious scrutiny toward Sussex Police over the years. About which the Crime Commissioners make light. Dismissing many complaints out of hand, and targeting those making complaints against Sussex police, and banking fraud.

1. The Murder of Shana Grice

In 2016, 19-year-old Shana Grice was murdered by her ex-boyfriend, Michael Lane, after months of stalking. Despite reporting him to Sussex Police multiple times, she was issued a fixed penalty notice for wasting police time—because she hadn’t initially disclosed their prior relationship. The judge later condemned the police for treating her as the wrongdoer and ignoring clear signs of escalating danger 2.

An Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) investigation found misconduct by several officers. One officer was placed on the police barred list, and others received disciplinary action.

2. there’s a detailed public record of the shooting of James Ashley in Hastings and the subsequent investigations that exposed serious misconduct and cover-ups within Sussex Police.

What happened?

On 15 January 1998, James Ashley, a 39-year-old unarmed man, was shot dead by a police officer during a raid at his flat in St Leonards-on-Sea, Hastings, East Sussex. He was naked and had just gotten out of bed when he was shot. The raid was authorised based on flawed intelligence suggesting he was armed and involved in drug trafficking—neither of which turned out to be true.

Investigations and cover-up allegations

- Two separate inquiries were launched by Hampshire and West Yorkshire Police under the Police Complaints Authority. They found:

- The use of armed officers breached national guidelines.

- The raid team was inadequately trained.

Senior officers misrepresented intelligence to obtain authorisation for the raid.

Chief Constable Paul Whitehouse and other senior officers were accused of colluding to obstruct the investigation and knowingly giving false statements to the public.

The officer who fired the fatal shot was charged with murder but acquitted on grounds of self-defence. Other officers involved in planning the raid were charged with misconduct in public office but were also acquitted.

Fallout: Chief Constable Whitehouse resigned under pressure from the Home Secretary.

Sussex Police later issued a formal apology to Ashley’s family.

The family pursued a civil case, Ashley v Chief Constable of Sussex Police, which reached the House of Lords. The court ruled in their favour, affirming that the police had acted unlawfully.

This case remains one of the most significant examples of a police shooting followed by institutional cover-up in modern UK history. It also led to calls for tighter controls on armed police operations and greater transparency in misconduct investigations.

3. Death in Custody and Giles York’s Resignation

There were persistent rumors surrounding the resignation of Chief Constable Giles York in 2020. A Freedom of Information request asked whether his departure was linked to a detainee’s death in custody following an arrest he was allegedly involved in. Sussex Police acknowledged the request but did not confirm any such incident publicly.

Separately, York was criticised for holding misconduct hearings in private, including cases involving officers dismissed for sexting, drink-driving, and other serious breaches.

4. Officers Sacked for Sexual Misconduct and Indecent Images

Sussex Police has dismissed multiple officers in recent years for sexual offences and misconduct:

PC Ryan Busby was charged with four counts of sexual assault by touching in 2024.

Ex-PC Olivia Clinton was dismissed in 2025 for sexually assaulting two colleagues at a social event 11.

Det Sgt Karen Young was sacked for prematurely closing a sexual assault case and falsely claiming the victim was uncooperative.

A Freedom of Information request revealed 27 criminal charges against Sussex officers over five years, including sexual assault, fraud, and perverting the course of justice.

These cases have raised serious questions about internal culture, oversight, and accountability within the force.

5. Failure to investigate planning crime and Conflicts of Interest

According to archived material from the Bushywood campaign, a petition was submitted to Sussex Police requesting an investigation into alleged planning corruption within Wealden District Council. The petition reportedly followed the controversial demolition of stables structures at Bushy Wood on the A22, which campaigners claimed was carried out unlawfully and with the support—or at least the passive presence—of Sussex Police. The demolition was said to have involved a long-running dispute over planning permissions and enforcement actions.

Detective Sergeant Keith Lyndsay is mentioned in connection with the petition, though there’s no official confirmation from Sussex Police about the outcome of any investigation he may have overseen. The same sources allege that Sussex Police declined to investigate the corruption claims independently, citing conflicts of interest due to their cooperation with the council during the demolition itself.

The broader context includes allegations of a “whitewash” by a panel involving Lord Newton and former councillor Jack Gore, both of whom were later linked to separate controversies involving undeclared interests and planning decisions.

While these sources raise serious concerns, they are not official findings. The fact the complaints have not been investigated independently is also a matter of concern. Straining credibility and pubic trust.

JOB PROSPECTS AND PAY SCALES

Here's a snapshot of earning potential based on the most recent data for 2024–2025:

Police Constables

Pay varies depending on when the officer joined and their experience:

- Starting salary: £29,907 (for those appointed after April 2013)

- Top of scale: £48,231 after several years of service

Detectives

Detectives typically hold the same rank as constables or sergeants, so their pay aligns with those scales. There’s no separate pay band for being a detective, though some forces offer additional allowances for specialist roles.

Sergeants

- Entry point: £51,408 (for newly promoted sergeants)

- Top of scale: £53,943

Traffic Wardens (Civil Enforcement Officers)

These roles are usually employed by local councils, not the police. Average salaries are:

- Typical range: £23,000–£26,000 per year

- National average: Around £23,844

These figures don’t include overtime, shift allowances, or London weighting, which can significantly boost take-home pay in some areas.

These specialist roles come with varying pay depending on experience, location, and whether they’re in the police or private sector. Here’s a breakdown:

Dog Handlers

Police dog handlers typically earn between £21,000 and £30,000 per year, depending on experience and rank.

In private security, pay can vary more widely, but averages around £9.50 per hour, or roughly £20,000–£25,000 annually.

Some roles offer additional allowances for unsociable hours or specialist training.

Firearms Officers

These are usually experienced constables or sergeants with specialist training.

Average salary: £45,000–£50,000 per year, though this can rise with overtime, London weighting, and on-call allowances.

A firearms-trained sergeant might earn up to £53,943, while inspectors can earn over £57,000.

Cyber Crime Teams

Salaries vary depending on whether the officer is in a local force or with the National Crime Agency (NCA).

Entry-level cybercrime investigators may earn £30,000–£40,000, while more senior analysts or technical specialists can earn £50,000–£70,000+, especially in the NCA or City of London Police 6.

Roles like data scientists or penetration testers in cyber units may command even higher salaries, particularly if they have private sector experience.

Chief Constables

Their pay is set nationally but varies by force size. As of 2024:

- Group 1 forces (e.g. Greater Manchester, West Midlands): £220,713

- Group 2 (e.g. Sussex, Kent): £191,553

- Group 3 (e.g. Cheshire, Norfolk): £173,340

These figures don’t include benefits like pensions, housing allowances, or performance bonuses, which can add significantly to total compensation.

Here's how public sector specialist police roles stack up against their private sector counterparts in the UK:

Dog Handlers

Police: Typically earn £21,000–£30,000, with some allowances for unsociable hours.

Private sector: Salaries range from £20,000 to £30,000, though some listings suggest averages around £23,795 annually 2. Specialist handlers in high-risk environments (e.g. explosives detection) may earn more.

Firearms Officers

Police: Generally earn £45,000–£50,000, depending on rank and overtime.

Private sector: Comparable roles in high-security firms or close protection can offer £50,000–£70,000, especially for ex-military or ex-police personnel with elite training.

Cyber Crime Specialists

Police/NCA: Entry-level roles start around £30,000–£40,000, with senior roles reaching £70,000+.

Private sector: The pay gap is stark. Cybersecurity analysts and penetration testers in London earn £50,000–£70,000, while senior roles like security architects or CISOs can command £80,000–£120,000+5. Some blockchain and Web3 roles exceed £150,000.

Chief Constables vs. Private Sector CEOs

Chief Constables: Earn between £173,000 and £220,000, depending on force size.

Private sector CEOs:

Average UK CEO: Around £97,000 annually.

FTSE 100 CEOs: Median pay is £4.19 million, with some (like Bet365’s Denise Coates) earning over £200 million.

So, while public sector roles offer stability, pensions, and purpose, the private sector often outpaces them in raw earnings—especially in tech and executive leadership.

RETIREMENT

many police officers transition into a wide range of roles after leaving the force—some immediately after retirement, others after a short break. Their skills in investigation, crisis management, negotiation, and public safety are highly transferable and often in demand across both public and private sectors.

Common Post-Police Career Paths

1. Local Government & Councils Former officers often take up roles in community safety, emergency planning, or anti-social behaviour teams. Their experience with public order and local crime trends makes them valuable assets to councils.

2. Corporate Security & Risk Management Many corporations—especially in finance, retail, and infrastructure—hire ex-police officers for roles in:

- Corporate investigations

- Fraud prevention

- Physical security management

- Executive protection

3. Cybersecurity & Intelligence Officers with digital forensics or counterterrorism backgrounds often move into cybercrime units in the private sector or join firms as security analysts, penetration testers, or intelligence consultants.

4. Training & Consultancy Some become trainers for law enforcement agencies or private firms, teaching everything from conflict resolution to firearms handling. Others work as consultants in regulatory compliance, safeguarding, or crisis response.

5. Private Investigation & Legal Support Retired detectives may become licensed private investigators or work with solicitors on case reviews, evidence gathering, or expert witness testimony.

6. Transport & Infrastructure Roles in transport policing, airport security, or critical infrastructure protection are common, especially for those with experience in public order or counterterrorism.

7. “Retire and Rejoin” Schemes Some forces offer schemes where retired officers return in civilian roles—like case file preparation, custody support, or mentoring new recruits.

There are also dedicated platforms like Blue Light Leavers and Police into Private Sector (PiPS) that help officers navigate the transition, offering CV support, interview coaching, and career matching.

[Governments routinely fail to investigate inconvenient crimes to protect high up fraudsters in the civil service, making the police an accessory after the fact - where it is a crime to fail to investigate a crime. The last thing you want to do is report a crime to a police officer in London or Sussex. You could become a victim of more crimes against the person. Police and Council officers have virtual immunity from prosecution. Perpetuating cases of injustice - as there is no right of appeal in the UK - a violation of Article 13 of the European Convention of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms - Article 13 being deliberately excluded from the Human Rights Act 1998 - specifically to deny an effective remedy to those wronged by the system. Article 8 of the UN's Universal Declaration.]

The home secretary, Suella Braverman, said “the crimes of David Carrick are a scar on our police”, adding: “There is no place in our police for such heinous and predatory behaviour.” She did not mention any specific policing reforms and said she awaited the outcome of the inquiry.

Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, said: “A major overhaul of police standards is desperately needed, but there has been a serious failure by Conservative ministers to take action. We owe it to the victims in this hideous case to take the strongest action on police standards.”

The Met commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, described Carrick as “evil” and acknowledged the damage to the force – Britain’s largest – which he vowed to reform. “He exploited his position as a police officer in the most disgusting way … We weren’t rigorous enough in our approach and as a result we missed opportunities to identify the warning signs over decades,” he said.

“I and tens of thousands of officers and staff in the Met are horrified by this man’s crimes and recognise this will shake Londoners’ trust too. We have let down women across London but we are more determined than ever to put it right.”

The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, gave his backing to reforms under way under Rowley: “I want to reassure the public and all the brave officers and staff who want to speak out that under the new commissioner any allegation of misconduct will be taken seriously and handled sensitively.”

Peter Burt, of the Crown Prosecution Service, accepted that the criminal justice system had failed survivors of sexual violence, but that the jailing of Carrick showed the need for people to come forward.

He said: “We know there are victims of other rape and serious sexual offences out there and that many of you may be worried about being believed or whether you’ll ever see justice done. We hope seeing Carrick, a prolific abuser, manipulator and rapist, behind bars will encourage other women to come forward, knowing we will do all we can to hold the person responsible to account for their crime.”

BBC NEWS 3 MAY 2023 - MET OFFICERS ARRESTED IN RAPE AND KIDNAP INQUIRY

Two serving Metropolitan Police officers have been arrested following an alleged kidnap and rape.

The Met said it follows an incident that "began in Kingston" in south-west London on Sunday while the officers were off-duty.

A third man, who is not a police officer, was arrested on suspicion of kidnap.

The force said both officers have been suspended from duty and the case has been referred to the police watchdog and the Met's directorate of professional standards.

In a statement, the Met said a woman is being supported by specially trained officers.

A spokesperson said one officer was arrested on Sunday on suspicion of kidnap, rape and common assault, and after consulting with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), was bailed to return on a date in June in relation to the rape.

He was released with no further action in relation to the other alleged offences.

The second officer was arrested on suspicion of kidnap and possession of class A drugs, but was released with no further action following consultation with the CPS.

The third man was also released with no further action.

It comes as Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said the force has redeployed dozens of officers from tackling serious crime and terrorism to investigate Met officers suspected of wrongdoing.

The Met began rechecking staff accused of domestic abuse and sexual violence in the 10 years to April 2022 following the conviction of David Carrick, a Met officer who carried out a series of rapes during his career, and the jailing of Wayne Couzens for the rape and murder of Sarah Everard.
