The true total of officers in England and Wales under investigation for such offences will be far higher, because only 28 out of 43 forces responded to FoI requests.

O.O

Nah, American cops are horrified that any cops are being investigated at all.

No mention of the rate? Or the rate in non-police officers? I'm seeing an increasing amount of articles quote raw numbers rather than anything statistically meaningful, I agree with the sentiment of the article but it's veering towards rage-bait territory.
