We were asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement before a briefing with the Chief Constable.
Nottinghamshire Police does not want Nottinghamshire Live to publish details relating to police conduct around the Nottingham attacks. Journalists from Nottinghamshire Live, and various other media outlets covering the horrific stabbings on June 13 last year, were invited to an off-the-record media briefing with Nottinghamshire Police at 12.30pm on Thursday, February 22.
When Kate Meynell took the top job at Nottinghamshire Police in late 2022, she said: "It is really important if we are to be successful as an organisation that the public have trust and confidence and we are seen to be legitimate.
“We are very concerned by reports of Nottinghamshire Police apparently using a non-disclosure agreement to prevent the media reporting matters in the public interest relating to a recent high-profile case in the county. The public have since learned of the force's nine-month failure to catch spree-killer Valdo Calocane before his vile crimes, and that a former officer chose to watch footage of fatally injured students Barnaby and Grace.
He was dismissed at a behind-closed-doors accelerated misconduct hearing. The victims' families were also outraged at not being told about the conduct hearing of police officer Matt Gell.
