An on-duty female police officer who was more than three times the drink-drive limit when she was found asleep behind the wheel of a patrol car clutching a bottle of wine has been found guilty of misconduct. Northumbria Police officer Helen Kane (left, right), 38, was found 'slumped' against the driver side of the police van when a dog walker passed by on November 3 last year. The marked van, which also contained three police dogs, was seen parked in the middle of a junction in Whickham, near Gateshead with its engine still running. Kane, from Belmont, County Durham, stood trial last week at Teesside Crown Court (inset) charged with misconduct in a public office - which she denied. But on Friday, after less than an hour of deliberation, Kane was found guilty of the charge by a jury.

Sam Helena, who has posted a number of raunchy and half-naked pictures to her Instagram account, is self-styled as 'Good Girl Gone Bad'. It comes after Ms Helena was 'given advice regarding her online safety and security' after provoking fury from her colleagues when she posted a glamorous video in which she posed and displayed a tongue stud while in uniform in October 2020. Since the advice, though, Ms Helena has gone onto regularly post erotic pictures in lingerie and other racy outfits. But she was snared by the her superiors after they came across the OnlyFans account, which allows users to pay money to subscribe and see her posts.

One thing that always strikes me when there is a violent incident, a murder, rape or whatever. No matter where it happens in the country, no matter what Police force, they the Police spokesman ALWAYS trots out the same cliches. They must have a National Script.
"Officers/skilled detectives are working tirelessly (or "night & day") to solve it"
"Specially trained officers". No matter what the incident, specially trained officers are always involved.
"Extra police presence on the streets to re-assure the local community." Complete bollox of course.
"This is complex and fast-moving investigation." There's never been an easy one to solve, or a slow-moving enquiry.
I have a little bingo card that I fill in when i read these news items.
