Ex-police officer pleads guilty to stalking woman
A former police officer made a woman feel vulnerable and unsafe by repeatedly approaching and asking her out, a court has heard. Ex-Devon and Cornwall Police Constable Kevin Davis, 41, of Seaton, pleaded guilty to stalking and misconduct in public office charges during a hearing at Exeter Magistrates' Court. The court was told David repeatedly messaged the woman, approached her at the gym and searched for her 24 times on systems at work over a three-month period, including while on annual leave. District Judge Stuart Smith said Davis would be sentenced on 17 September. Devon and Cornwall Police said the force was not making any comments at this time. 'Spy on her' Prosecuting, Warjinder Bains said Davis made "repeated unwanted comments" on social media posts to the victim and asked her out several times in January. She added Davis then turned up at the woman's gym to try and speak to her. "The defendant used his position as a police officer to look her up on the police system to, in effect, spy on her, accessing the system also on his off-duty periods, including when he was on annual leave," she said. The judge said the offences were "very serious" and ordered a pre-sentence report to be written ahead of sentencing. Davis was granted bail with a condition not to contact the complainant.

How law enforcement prepares to keep communities safe during July Fourth
Americans will celebrate the Fourth of July on Friday, but behind the scenes, law enforcement agencies in big cities and small towns across the U.S. will be on high alert to keep the holiday secure. This year, the Department of Homeland Security has activated its national terrorism advisory system following U.S. strikes against Iran. In Fairfax County, Virginia, the Real Time Crime Center is the hub of police operations. For the Fourth of July, it's all hands on deck, Chief of Police Kevin Davis told CBS News. "I think I wouldn't be doing my job if I wasn't always worried, but we know our ability to react is better than it ever has been," Davis said. Police there have the ability to tap into more than 20,000 live cameras across the county, including those worn by officers. "It puts us in a great position to get additional assistance to the police officers in the street," Davis said. Nearly 300 officers in the county will be activated on Friday alongside the civil disturbance unit. A helicopter and drones will also be on standby. Assistant Chief of Police Bob Blakely expects large gatherings across the county's more than 400 parks. "We try to always be highly visible. We believe, you know, preparedness, a little bit of prevention goes a long way," Blakely said. Officers will be visible on the ground and along the waterways. "July 4th is probably the busiest day of the year," said Master Police Officer Tim Judd, who captains Marine Patrol One. "We all work together to ensure a safe outcome." For families who are nervous to bring their children to their local holiday fireworks, Davis advised, "have a plan, celebrate the Fourth of July and just know that your local police department is here to keep you safe."
