2nd September 2010, By James Slack, Daily Mail Thousands of police were subject to multiple complaints last year by fed-up members of the public. The officers faced accusations of being rude, late or even committing assaults on three or more occasions, Freedom of Information requests revealed. One officer in the West Midlands had to wear a headcam while on duty to monitor his conduct following allegations. The report comes as a special constable who assaulted an off-duty soldier while arresting him was jailed for three years. The figures show that, of the 43 out of 52 UK forces which replied to FOI requests, 2,073 police officers were subject to three or more complaints. There were a total of 5,069 allegations against officers - with most complaints were about rudeness, assault or failure of duty.
