Alexandra Heal is an investigative reporter whose work for the Bureau of Investigative Journalism on domestic abuse by police officers won her the Private Eye Paul Foot Award 2020. Alexandra’s reporting has also led to lawyers submitting a nationwide "super-complaint" with police regulators. In this episode, Alexandra explains how her research and reporting discovered close to 90 women with terrible stories of domestic abuse by police forces and the shocking indifference, sometimes even collusion, of fellow officers.
