英国德文郡和康沃尔郡警察局因被指控保护涉嫌对女性实施暴力的男警察而向9名女性受害者支付赔偿并发表正式道歉1。这些女性指控遭遇强奸、殴打、威胁、骚扰和胁迫控制，警察局被指控掩盖了这些严重犯罪1。经过为期两年的法律诉讼，双方达成和解，警察局在不承认责任的前提下同意赔偿，并承诺改进对警察施暴家庭暴力案件的保护措施1。
警察局长詹姆斯·沃恩对警察部门的失职进行了个人道歉1。案件中一些女性忍受了约15年的虐待1，其中9名受害者中有4人曾在该警察局服役但现已离职1。令人关注的是，至少4名涉嫌施暴的警察仍在继续服役1，一名男警官在遭到指控后被提拔两次，随后被任命到打击针对女性和女孩暴力的领导职位1。一名女教师在报警后遭到逮捕，但后来被从犯罪记录中删除1。
该案件由妇女正义中心提起1。德文郡和康沃尔郡警察局因整体表现不佳被纳入特殊监管1。
Devon and Cornwall Police has formally apologized and agreed to pay compensation to nine women who accused the force of protecting officers suspected of perpetrating violence against women.1 The settlement came after a two-year legal dispute, during which the women alleged they suffered rape, assault, threats, harassment, and coercive control while the police force allegedly concealed serious crimes.1 Although the force did not admit liability, it committed to improving safeguarding measures for domestic abuse cases involving police officers.1
Among the nine victims, four had previously served with the police force but have since left.1 Some of these women endured abuse for approximately 15 years.1 Chief Constable James Vaughan personally apologized for the force's failures in March 2026 when meeting with the women to discuss the handling of their domestic abuse reports.1 At least four officers accused of abuse remain on active duty,1 while one male officer was promoted twice after allegations emerged and was subsequently appointed to a leadership role overseeing efforts to combat violence against women and girls.1
The case was brought by the Centre for Women's Justice.1 The settlement comes two weeks after Devon and Cornwall Police entered special monitoring due to poor overall performance.1 One woman who was a schoolteacher was arrested following a warning but was later removed from the criminal record.1
