Overview

• The October 2023 search of a north Essex home was linked to a drugs inquiry and resulted in no charges, with the force saying a man at the address was arrested and later released.
• Body-worn camera footage viewed by the complainant shows officers moving her underwear and laughing about sex toys, while Suffolk Police deny the toys were touched.
• A joint professional standards investigation deemed the behaviour “unacceptable and unprofessional” and required two serving officers to undergo reflective practice and issue apologies; a third officer had already left the force.
• Suffolk Police paid complainant Nichola Corr £3,500, which she describes as insufficient given the embarrassment and personal impact she reports, including a relationship breakdown.
• Corr also alleges the footage shows an older officer instructing colleagues to turn off their bodycams, a claim not confirmed by the force.
