information to the public and the management of this by the leadership team led to a breakdown of public confidence. despite the unlawful, the release of personal details regarding nicola was avoidable and unnecessary. the relationship between police forces are mainstream media needs to be rebuilt, and the commissioner says he hopes that this ratio nicola's family that the investigation was a full and thorough and despite the learning is highlighted in the report, none of this would have changed the case. the report was very detailed, it criticised senior officers at the force for errors ofjudgment and talked about the culture of the force? , . h, , . force? yes, and the reports included a series of conclusions. _ force? yes, and the reports included a series of conclusions. more - force? yes, and the reports included a series of conclusions. more than i

we have completed this review, i hope they are given the space to grieve in peace. the college responsible for setting standards for the police in england and wales, we use evidence—based knowledge and we use evidence—based knowledge and we have reviewed this case against those rubber standards. the college was commissioned by lancashire's police and crime commissioner andrew snowden this february to undertake a fully independent review of the operational response to the reported missing person nicola bulley. the review was tasked with providing insight into the effectiveness of the constabulary�*s response over the course of the period nicola was missing. we have now formally presented this report to the police and crime commissioner. the purpose of the college of policing review was not to a tribute claim or rerun the investigation into nicola's disappearance and death but rather to learn for lancashire police and policing more broadly. i want to

start by saying we found the police investigation and search to have been well conducted by the constabulary. we spoke to many officers, police staff and volunteers who worked on this investigation and their dedication and commitment was clear to stay they should have demonstrated the best of policing. while there is much to learn from this tragic incident, lancashire constabulary should have been recognised for that. i want to thank everyone who supported this review, answered the questions and provided us with any information we requested. we found a genuine willingness to learn. i would rather like to speak to the overall issues we have found. looking at all the evidence available, we believe the decision not to declare a critical incident set the tone within the constabulary and led to several challenges. the

couege and led to several challenges. the college of policing defines a critical incident as any incident where the effectiveness of the police response is likely to have a significant impact on the confidence of the victim, their family and the community. this investigation clearly met that. whilst we found the constabulary deployed considerable resources and identified nicola's disappearance is high risk, the failure to declare a critic —— critical incident is significance and impact on the decision—making throughout the investigation. as you will know, nicola's disappearance received unprecedented levels of interest from both mainstream and social media. lancashire constabulary�*s press office logged more than 500 media calls and 75,000 social media comments over a period of about a month. at the peak of media attention the investigation generated 6500 news articles globally in a single day, on social media the bbc estimated to chuckle

and featured 270 million videos with the hashtag of nicola bulley�*s name. there is no doubt how hard the communications team worked, but we found the constabulary did not recognise the extent of the media interest all the impact it was having on public confidence. the coverage of nicola's disappearance was on a par with many national media stories in recent times and was one of if not the most high—profile incident that lancashire constabulary has ever experienced. arguably the most significant impact on public confidence was the release of information about nicola potts might help. we found due process was followed and it was lawful but we are in no doubt that policing this —— releasing this information in the manner the constabulary did was avoidable and unnecessary. there is

substantial learning for the constabulary but there are also findings and recommendations for policing nationally. the review found the wider relationship between the police and the media to be fractured and identify that action needs to be taken on all sides to help build trust. the impact of social media and public confidence must be acknowledged. the ability to address both of these areas of learning must be considered closely at a national level, including by the college of policing. finally, i want to put firmly on record that the constabulary welcomed the review terms with candour. 0ur officers and staff have continued to display a real willingness to learn. we stand willing to support them, the police and crime commissioner and wider policing as we look to implement the important learning from this review.

criticism where it was due, we also complimented the exemplar research and investigation. it is a serious criticism linked to the failure to declare it a critical incident, had it been declared a critical incident earlier a command structure with a gold, silver bronze decision—making process would have given greater scrutiny to the liaison with the media, the deployment of liaison family officers and the press briefing is made. reporter: the re ort briefing is made. reporter: the report says _ briefing is made. reporter: the report says the — briefing is made. reporter: the report says the police _ briefing is made. reporter: the i report says the police investigation was highly professional. in contrast to the management of communications. i think everyjournalist that had to deal with the press office struggled to get answers. we know in some cases only two press officers were in on a day, there were issues where the press office did not accept help from an outside force. the main criticism seem to come from this press office. why has elizabeth fry

did not tendered her resignation, and would you like her too? and would you like 02? andrew, when this was happening we came to your office to ask what sort of scrutiny you would give the police. you did not do that, you waited until the end of the investigation because you did not want to get involved with it. but had there been steps during it, thoseissues but had there been steps during it, those issues could have been raised. why were you so unwilling to pass criticism until the police to at the time when there were clear failures? with regard the issues within the media and communications team, as the report has rightly highlighted, they were under immense pressure through an unprecedented amount of contact in to the media and engagement team. the review has rightly identified ways in which it could have been better managed in the future. as i said in my opening statement, there have been no grounds for which anyone has conducted anything that could be considered misconduct, this is

learning for the organisation about how we can better handle media relations in the future during these unprecedented cases and the team has been incredibly transparent and contacted their interactions with this review with candour, and we are really comfortable learnings have already been taken on. my own role is to help the police to account for providing an effective service to the residents of lancashire, it is not legally include the ability to interfere in police operations on a day to day basis. i was very clear throughout the review i would give the chief constable and the team the backing they needed to find nicola, which is what this was crucially about, and that investigation was conducted in an exemplary manner, as has been highlighted. the most important thing for that moment and everybody else but �*s constabulary was finding nicola. in terms of how that could have been better presented to the outside world and better engage with the media and

social media, there is clear learning from that which the constabulary was definitely going to be picking up going forward, and i will help and to account, i will be asking the chief constable to come back with a report that home office recommendations will be implemented. further questions?— further questions? reporter: the re ort talks further questions? reporter: the report talks about _ further questions? reporter: the report talks about that _ further questions? reporter: the report talks about that they - further questions? reporter: the report talks about that they should | report talks about that they should have been a higher profile figurehead from the constabulary at these news conferences. it alludes to the fact that people were reluctant to have difficult conversations within the constabulary, to perhaps challenge the senior officers. will you now be challenging the chief? this i the senior officers. will you now be challenging the chief?— challenging the chief? as i said, it is art of challenging the chief? as i said, it is part of the _ challenging the chief? as i said, it is part of the accountability - is part of the accountability process going forward, howl is part of the accountability process going forward, how i will take this report and learn from the

it was extremely difficult to get any comment whatsoever about the policing of that major incident. clearly expectations of newsrooms of a response from the police have changed significantly over maybe the last decade or so. how confident are you that this report and the actions that will come from it will make a significant enough shift for the same situation to be avoided in the future? . ., same situation to be avoided in the future? ., ,, , ., , same situation to be avoided in the future? ., ,, i. , . ., future? thank you very much for the ruestion, future? thank you very much for the question. given _ future? thank you very much for the question, given this _ future? thank you very much for the question, given this is _ future? thank you very much for the question, given this is particularly i question, given this is particularly about lancashire, i will take this. i think it is really clear when you read the review that the vacuum of information is what in part led to the constabulary completely losing

control of the narrative around the story, both regionally, nationally and internationally. none of the key findings on the —— one of the key findings on the —— one of the key findings on the communication and engagement ciders about the relationship between the media and the press, i think it is fair to deduce from this report that post leather send the pendulum has swung too far the other way around the formality and structure of relations, it is not a bad thing for the police to be able to do things like non—reportable briefings and provide additional context and briefing when there is a clear policing purpose —— post leveson. 0ne policing purpose —— post leveson. one of the areas we wanted to look at in this review has been around the role of social media, and what has been seen from the analysis of the timeline about the amount of use and interaction on social media versus mainstream media is when police lose control of the narrative

with the mainstream media, that fuel social media speculation, and some of the social media speculation that went on was abhorrent and incredibly damaging and hurtful to many, many people. so there is a key learning for me around the police cannot lose control of narratives and nature investigations by allowing other people to fill the information vacuum, that is something we will be picking up locally in lancashire and something i will be holding the force to account for. so in future if critical incidents are declared they can ensure the police stay in control of the narrative for the go to people for the reliable and fact checked information. a should be figures of authority in these situations and available to do so. —— the police should be of authority. -- the police should be of authority-— -- the police should be of authori . ~ ., ., ., authority. we are grateful for the su ort of authority. we are grateful for the support of various _ authority. we are grateful for the support of various media - authority. we are grateful for the support of various media and - support of various media and representative bodies and giving us
