Police told to reveal ethnicity of suspects under interim guidance
Police forces have been told to share suspects' ethnicity and nationality with the public after authorities were accused of covering up offences carried out by asylum seekers. The interim guidance by the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) and the College of Policing, which comes after mounting pressure on police over the details they make public, said forces should consider disclosing the extra details about suspects charged in particularly high-profile and sensitive investigations. But decisions on whether to release such information will remain with the forces themselves, the NPCC said. It is hoped the change could combat misinformation spread on social media, after Merseyside Police was criticised for not revealing more about Axel Rudakubana when he was arrested on suspicion of murder after attacking a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport last July. Within hours of the attack, posts spread on the internet claiming the suspect was a 17-year-old asylum seeker who had come to the country by boat in 2024. In the first press conference after the event, at 6.30pm that day, Merseyside Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy told journalists the suspect was originally from Cardiff. But the police statement did little to quell the misinformation spreading online, and riots began across the country the next day. In a separate incident, to suppress rumours that a car that had ploughed into a crowd of people during Liverpool's Premier League victory parade in May was a terror attack, the force promptly revealed the ethnicity and nationality of a man they had arrested, who was white and British. Deputy Chief Constable Sam de Reya, said: 'We saw during last summer's disorder, as well as in several recent high-profile cases, what the major, real-world consequences can be from what information police release into the public domain. 'We have to make sure our processes are fit for purpose in an age of social media speculation and where information can travel incredibly quickly across a wide range of channels. 'Disinformation and incorrect narratives can take hold in a vacuum. It is good police work for us to fill this vacuum with the facts about issues of wider public interest.' There is nothing that bars police from sharing information about the nationality, asylum status or ethnicity of someone who has been charged with an offence in the College of Policing's existing guidance on media relations. Earlier this month, Warwickshire police and crime commissioner Philip Seccombe pressed the Home Secretary for an urgent update on the issue after the charging of two men – reported to be Afghan asylum seekers – prompted accusations that the force withheld information about their immigration status. The force denied a 'cover-up' after being criticised by Reform UK. The new guidance, which comes into force immediately, was welcomed by police and crime commissioners. Emily Spurrell of the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners said: 'I am pleased the NPCC and College of Policing have recognised the need to update guidance for forces in the light of recent high-profile cases. 'PCCs and Deputy Mayors act on behalf of the public and it is clear there was a need to review the guidance to address growing public concern. 'We have seen the speed with which mis- or disinformation can spread online and the danger to public safety that can cause, so it is right police keep the public informed as far as is possible whilst preserving a suspect's right to a fair trial.'

Study gives recommendations on how ABQ Ride can improve safety on buses
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The City of Albuquerque is fine-tuning its recent overhaul of security on city buses, after a study revealed some gaps. The recommendations in the study completed last year focus on getting more security staff in the field, and getting them to incidents faster. 'This plan is not something that's meant to last for a season or two, it's here to stay,' said Bobby Sisneros, Deputy Director for ABQ Ride. Story continues below Film: These 2010s movies and shows were filmed in Albuquerque. Have you seen them? New Mexico News Insiders: Addressing Education With New Mexico's Lt. Governor New Mexico Crime Files: Mother high on fentanyl nearly kills crossing guard sees no jail time News: Study gives recommendations on how ABQ Ride can improve safety on buses It's a plan to make riding the Albuquerque city buses safer for transit workers and riders. In 2023 Albuquerque City Council adopted an ordinance requiring ABQ Ride to conduct a study that would create a long-term plan to improve safety, after noting a rise in safety threats on buses. 'They are prone to physical assault, verbal assault, general harassment, poor hygienic conditions on the bus,' said David Pennington, Vice President for Parametrix Consulting. The study from the consulting firm Parametrix looked at over 10,000 incident records to create a list of recommendations. One of the suggestions was to create a process that deploys officers or other first responders more quickly to an incident. 'There's multiple agencies or multiple city departments involved in transit security, but whenever you have multiple agencies involved, who is accountable isn't always very clear, and so one group may think another is responding,' said Pennington. The study also found ABQ Ride needs a division to keep track of those incidents. 'There were some years back in 2019, 2018, where there was no data collected at all, so this study really highlighted the fact that data is a very important part to having a strong robust security program,' said Sisneros. Another recommendation was to triple the number of transit safety officers who patrol the transit corridors. The Albuquerque Police Department said having more TSOs will free up more sworn officers. 'Because transit safety officers are able to respond to certain calls for service, they're responding to calls for service that sworn resources don't have to any longer,' said APD Commander Gerard Bartlett. ABQ Ride said they're confident this long-term plan will be successful. 'We've taken our time, we've done the research, we're identifying what's really needed and what's missing, but we're setting it up in a place so that when society changes, they can make the tweaks and the changes they need, but the whole plan stays the same,' said Sisneros. ABQ Ride said they have decided to increase the number of TSOs to 87 once the plan is fully implemented. ABQ Ride says the study cost $500,000. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
