I think some of the sticking together of the Police , and the looking after their own. ( Have to say it comes with a lot of the Unions ) I know of a case where a serving officer was convicted of a serious offence. the next day he reported sick and was allowed to retire within a month on ill health grounds which meant he did not face the disciplinary action that could have cost his pension, in another where an investigation was launched into misuse of computers in a fire station the signing in book that was chained to the desk in the entrance disappeared I think that the IPCC are not allowed to investigate officers who have resigned and therefore this is a common route for wrong doers to leave with a clean record and without the force losing any face. Similar in many Companies, just move someone out quietly if they seem to have done something wrong, the company doesn't want the bad publicity.

I know many companies do it but they are not paid by the tax payer to stop people breaking the law.
