As we dive a little deeper into the process that the police go through, we can start to see more.
• Fighting against criminals who withhold all information.
• Searching for evidence, sometimes from decades ago.
• Interviewing children whose memory is not always linear.
Can you imagine trying to do this job?
That is why I’ve brought Detective Chief Superintendent, Martin Maclean, who spent 30 years in roles such as Head of Child Abuse Investigation onto my podcast to help us understand more - because I know that we’re angry, but there are reasons why it’s the way it is.
To all the police officers that do this job, thank you.
