Police behind Nicola Bulley search face two investigations

Lancashire constabulary, already subject to an IOPC inquiry, now to undergo College of Policing review

The police force behind the search for Nicola Bulley is facing two investigations into its handling of the case amid further criticism of its release of highly personal details about the missing mortgage adviser.

The College of Policing, the national policing standards body, is to launch a wide-ranging independent review of Lancashire constabulary's investigation. The Lancashire police and crime commissioner, Andrew Snowden, said he ordered the review because there remain questions" about how the force had handled the high-profile search.
