Since a super-complaint was made last year about domestic abuse by police officers, over a hundred women have come forward to say they are affected. The centre for women's justice is still waiting for an outcome to its complaint. But wants the way these cases are dealt with to be drastically changed.

We spoke to a woman we're calling 'Amy' who suffered abuse from her police officer husband. Her name has been changed to protect her identity. There are references to suicide.

The National Police Chiefs' Council statement: Whilst the vast majority of officers work hard to protect victims and bring offenders to justice, we know that abusers can seek professions affording them power and control. We do take any allegation of abuse against an officer very seriously. Officers will face criminal investigation and likely dismissal if the case is proven. Good officers are disgusted by the very small number who abuse a partner or family member and will want to see justice done. With the College of Policing we have developed guidelines for forces to deal with this.
