The performance of Chief Constable Shaun Sawyer and the Devon and Cornwall force is scrutinised in the first of a series of publicly viewable one-to-one meetings with Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Hogg.
The PCC holds the Chief Constable to account for the delivery of the Police and Crime Plan. The correct mechanism to achieve this in a structured, comprehensive and transparent way is being developed, and part of this includes regular meetings that will be viewable by the public in full.
The first part of the June interview covers four main areas:
Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward following a serious collision between a Honda motorcyle and a Vauxhall Astra on the westbound carriageway of the A30 near Honiton on Friday (31 May) afternoon.
Officers are particularly keen to speak to the driver of a blue car seen in the area at around the time of the collision who may be able to assist the investigation.
The male motorcyclist was treated by paramedics at the scene then airlifted to Derriford Hospital. He remains in a serious condition. The male driver of the Astra was uninjured.
Hundreds of people have gathered in the street next to Taksim Gezi Park on Friday, as bulldozers reportedly move into the green space to begin the demolition.
The protest has been ongoing since the beginning of the work in defence of what is, according to protesters, the only remaining open public space in central Istanbul.
Police have used pepper spray, tear gas and water cannons, as well as setting fire to tents, to disperse the protesters over the last four days. (NewsPoint)
