“So the police have to be as open and honest as they can be, but last night they lost a lot of my sympathy as what they said seemed like victim blaming and had a whiff of misogyny – revealing Nicola’s alcohol problems and menopause struggles.” “Someone goes missing in the UK every 90 seconds.

Lancashire constabulary has referred itself to the police watchdog over the contact that officers had with Bulley on 10 January as part of a welfare check. Michael Vincent, the leader of Wyre council, said on Friday there were “lessons to be learned” by the force but that “they’ve done their best in difficult circumstances”. He told Sky News: “People have reported being sat in their living rooms in an afternoon watching television and people coming up to the windows, peering in, trying the doors. The Labour leader, who is a former director of public prosecutions, said: “I was very surprised to see what the police had put out there. Bulley’s family said they had been aware in advance that the force was planning to release personal information about “our Nikki” but stopped short of saying they had approved it. She told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I’m afraid this is the biggest error that I have seen for quite a long time.

"If it was relevant, it needed to be in a public domain at the start, and it wasn't," she said. In a statement released on Wednesday, Lancashire Police said Ms Bulley had suffered with "some significant issues with alcohol" and "ongoing struggles with the menopause". [significant side effects due to the perimenopause](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-64665835), including "brain fog" and "restless sleep". A Home Office spokesman said: "The home secretary and policing minister are receiving regular updates from Lancashire Police on its handling of this case, including why personal information about Nicola was briefed out at this stage of the investigation." He told BBC Radio 4 World at One he would not comment specifically on Lancashire Police, but to release personal information about a person's health there "would need to be a really clear and demonstrable need and a clear link between that disclosure and a legitimate police objective". "Police can disclose information to protect the public and investigate crime, but they would need to be able to demonstrate such disclosure was necessary," he said.

Police said they believed she had gone into the river and that her disappearance was not suspicious. He said there was "a huge feeling in policing that the way that Lancashire Police has been focused on has got to the stage of being unfair". He said media comments about the appearance of Det Supt Smith, who is leading the investigation, at Wednesday's press conference "created huge anger, particularly among senior police officers, and a number of female chief constables came out yesterday absolutely to condemn that and say how unfair it was - so this is just not helpful". He said the release of information in investigations "gets to the stage where it's not in the public interest". "A measure of whether a missing person's investigation has been carried out professionally is not really whether that person has been found because tragically there are many, many cases where the person is not located."

Peter Fahy says reaction 'overblown' as Lancashire force being asked to 'operate with a huge public gallery'

“But when it gets to the stage where every single detail is pored over it’s a bit like a very highly skilled surgeon being asked to carry out an operation with a huge public gallery and people going over every single action.” “The police need the help of the public in providing information and the public need to know if something serious has happened in their community,” he said. [police revealed](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/15/lancashire-police-no-evidence-crime-nicola-bulley-case) Bulley had “individual vulnerabilities” that put her in the highest risk category, meaning there was a risk of her coming to serious harm. He added there was “a huge feeling in policing that the way that Lancashire police has been focused on has got to the stage of being unfair”. Since she vanished, huge public and media interest has resulted in what police described as “false information, accusations and rumours” and an “unprecedented” search of the River Wyre. But Peter Fahy, a former chief constable of Greater Manchester police, said the criticism had been overblown and that the flurry of public interest meant officers were like “very highly skilled surgeons” asked to “operate with a huge public gallery”.

Lancashire Police is facing criticism from the public, the media, and the government over its decision to reveal details of Nicola Bulley's personal life.

It was a dreadful invasion of Nicola and her family's privacy. These days, police don't trust reporters like they once did. The mother-of-two has been missing for more than three weeks, and officers say they thought transparency was the best course of action. There were some things he didn't want to reveal publicly, but he thought that knowing them would help us. That revelation simply raised other questions they wouldn't respond to. "They promised us that whatever question we wanted to ask would be answered," recalled retired CRA chairman Jeff Edwards.

Police still believe mother-of-two went into river during 10-minute window not accounted for.

“That is working, the site managers have been cooperating with us and supporting this investigation at every stage. But fresh details shared by police this week suggest she could have left the field where she went missing via roads not covered by surveillance cameras. Police know that at 9.20am, her phone was on the bench it was later discovered on. This map shows the rough distance Ms Bulley could have gone in a car in the unexplained 10 minutes: From the last place she was sighted at approximately 9.10am, and where her phone was seen at 9.20am, there is a baffling 10-minute window where Ms Bulley could have walked or driven to the surrounding areas. [The Independent has mapped out the rough radius](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/nicola-bulley-missing-river-wyre-map-b2283347.html) where the 45-year-old could have walked and driven to in those 10 minutes. But she said all the evidence suggested that Ms Bulley went down to the river and did not return. This map shows the key areas Ms Bulley was last traced to and possible exit points from the field, identified by police: “Our CCTV enquiries have focused on Nicola’s movements and whether she could have left the fields near to the river, whether that be via Allotment Lane, the river path leading to Garstang Road, or by Rowanwater at the top of the upper field,” Lancashire Constabulary said in a statement. This latest hypothesis was expanded on at a press conference on Wednesday, during which detective superintendent Rebecca Smith, leading the investigation, said: “The area at the top of the field, Rowanwater, has CCTV that covers the gate that enters the field and the front of the site. CCTV in the surrounding areas has ruled out that Ms Bulley left the park via the majority of exit points.

Parliament should consider the online harms bill in the light of social media giants once again lagging behind events.

"This attack is a message to all the anti-Islamic security agencies of Pakistan... Investigators blamed an affiliate of the Pakistan Taliban for the January blast at the Peshawar police compound. On Friday evening, a Taliban suicide squad stormed the sprawling Karachi Police Office compound in the southern port city, prompting an hours-long gun battle that ended when two of the attackers were shot dead and a third blew himself up. The police are often used on the frontline of Pakistan's battle with the Taliban and are frequently a target of militants who accuse them of extra-judicial killings. But attacks -- mostly targeting security forces -- have been on the rise again since the Afghan Taliban seized control of Kabul in August 2021 and a shaky months-long ceasefire between the TTP and Islamabad ended in November last year.
