“Dear Baroness, I cannot tell you how your review of the London Met Police changed my life, as I was arrested twice in my own home for harassing a pc I’ve never met. She was assigned to a burglary of £1mm from my home in 2020, and I named the names who did it. Two of them live on my street in Notting Hill. I heard nothing back, and so kept sending emails. I was arrested in 2020, and again in late March 2023. I was so frighted of the absolute silence between my reporting it to them and my second arrest that I wrote you a direct email regarding my sheer terror at what would happen next. Alas, I got your address wrong. I fully support your findings and have read all 363 pages. I encourage all, especially those involved with the London Met Police, to read every word, especially chapter five where you lay out how those reporting crimes often suffer from PTSD which is exacerbated by the force’s lack of empathy and understanding. My treatment at Charing Cross echoes your findings of bullies and predators. I applaud your efforts and continue to sing your praises. Thank you for your determination, grit, courage and strength to uncover uncomfortable truths. Most Sincerely, Gilena Simons”
