Researchers from the Centre for Women's Justice (CWJ) unearthed 'shocking' levels of abuse by serving officers and found that forces are failing to properly investigate.
The women's charity also discovered instances of officers who were promoted to roles with responsibility for policing rape and domestic abuse while facing allegations of abuse themselves.
The charity said that, since submitting a 'super-complaint' about police failure to tackle domestic abuse in March 2020, it has been contacted by more than 200 victims of abuse by police officers.
Some 45 per cent of the women who came forward are themselves police officers or staff, the CWJ said. They report being victimised and even forced out of jobs after they reported a fellow officer.

"From the outset, it felt like … I was the one under investigation," said Tara, who worries any other complainant would have pulled out then and there. "What it did was place this seed of doubt [in me]: Are they actually going to look into this? Do they believe me? I feel like they want this to go away." Still, she gave a statement in early 2023 feeling hopeful that the accused might at least "reflect" on his actions.
