Earlier today (5 August 2015), in response to the forensic officers and attempted burglary trial carried out by Leicestershire Police, Sir Clive Loader gave the following comment:
“I was unaware of this trial and while I appreciate that technically this is operational policing territory, carried out by an East Midlands Collaborative Unit, I believe that I should have been informed, principally because it was taking place in Leicestershire. Had I been consulted I would have advised against it, particularly in light of the controls chosen which, to me at least, are unlikely to inspire much public confidence.”
