#ACPO
When Labour Together hired ACPO to investigate the journalists in Nov 2023 it was run by Josh Simons - he's now a minister in Starmer's government

Morgan McSweeney, left LT in 2020 to join Starmer’s team. Sources close to him did not dispute he knew that Labour Together had hired ACPO

Incredible, the “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” is just Bitcoin that was already seized via forfeiture. No actual purchases.

I see ex Indepedent/Sunday Times journalist Tom Harper is behind this ACPO private investigator unit. I had major brushes with him during the phone hacking scandal/Daniel Morgan murder, as he was always weaponising information to help Murdoch
I was working with @direthoughts.com when he broke the first stories about Labour Together's funding way back in 2021.

Now it turns out they were paying private investigators to investigate him for reporting on them and Morgan McSweeney knew about it

ACPO, (Chief Constables) only asked for 3.8%
The Govt listened to rank and file members and offered 4.2%

Yes, that’s ACPO Global which is also a private investigation company, and has been revealed to been scandalously deployed against journalists investigating the Mandelson/McSweeney Labour Together group 10/12

"Oh noes, they invalidated all my research!" is a universal in fiction. (There was this one novel of mine where the plot revolved around ACPO, the Association of Chief Police Officers, which had been around for about 50 years. Guess what happened, between me submitting the MS and publication day?)

When I was at ACPO a priest bragged about disappearing all the BCPs out of every parish he'd served at because "lay people simply can't understand what propitiation means."

The interesting thing about that declaration is that presumably one of the things a priest can do in that situation is teach.

Some years ago ACPO played a useful role in coordinating police forces on FOI. As a journalist I found ACPO generally helpful & willing to engage constructively with requesters. But since ACPO became the NPCC, the overall FOI performance of police forces has got much worse and is often dreadful.

The ACPO / Labour Together story just became funnier.

John McDonnell MP raises a point of order on this FT exclusive story, which shows ACPO executive telling a contractor "basically get rid of everything, anything you need to now" after smearing journalists and potentially MPs on behalf of Labour Together.

81 in a 65 is too much. Generally I'll accept 10% + 2 (the old ACPO rule of thumb) as a method of how much is too much on a highway.

8. Hull History Centre

A nice building in the city with a surprising collection of records, including the UK section of League Against Imperialism and the Association of Chief Police Officers.

Almost went to Milton Keynes to look at ACPO files before I was told that they had relocated to Hull.

Would seem so but how is that kind of thing enforced? Could argue that “somebody” (Home Office? ACPO?) should have produced a policy response but hey that would only happen if their interests were threatened :(

Remember - the 'College of Policing' does most of the stuff that ACPO used to do. Don't be fooled by the bland name.
"Police have been issued guidance on how to search women’s homes for abortion drugs and check their phones for menstrual cycle tracking apps after unexpected pregnancy loss"

"...police could bypass legal requirements for a court order to obtain medical records..."

The rule of thumb I worked with when having to regularly liaise directly with Scotland Yard or when sitting on an ACPO working groups was the more political dimensions any crime had, the more likely I was to meet fuckery as opposed to institutional bias and casual failure of empathy.

the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) pretty much use 10% +2 mph across every county in the UK when asked in FOI requests. Speed cameras are produced by private companies who don't confirm it. I've noticed Kia/Hyundais are about 10% under on their speedos vs GPS also.

Ever wondered why Digital Forensic professionals, particularly in the UK, still rely on 13 yrs old ACPO guidance?

Ahir vaig participar a una taula rodona per parlar d’#orientació davant d’estudiants de màster. No vaig deixar de dir que l’orientació s’ha de fer a totes les etapes educatives, en equip i de forma planificada… sempre amb una mirada inclusiva. @DEP_Institut #ACPO
