UK Police Chief RETIRES After AI Evidence Scandal

West Midlands Police Chief Constable Craig Guildford has retired after a major scandal involving misleading MPs, flawed intelligence, and the use of AI-generated material - but because he wasn’t formally sacked, he will still receive his police pension. The case has reignited serious questions around police accountability, leadership failure, and public trust in UK policing. In this episode, we break down what went wrong, place it in the wider context of policing scandals - including the resignation of Dame Cressida Dick following the Sarah Everard case - and ask whether senior officers are ever truly held to account. We also balance the conversation by highlighting genuine policing wins and acts of bravery, before ending on a lighter note with one extremely intoxicated raccoon who managed to rob a liquor store.
