The statement said: “We are deeply concerned that the misconduct meeting that relates to the failures of three officers to act following a serious incident that took place with Valdo Calocane in May 2023, a month before he embarked upon his killing spree of our loved ones, is flawed, hastened and incomplete.
The report’s findings, seen by the PA news agency, has led to a misconduct meeting rather than a more serious misconduct hearing for three Leicestershire Police officers, meaning they face a maximum of a final written warning.
The families of the Nottingham attack victims have said “farcical” misconduct proceedings should not go ahead against officers who investigated a previous assault by killer Valdo Calocane due to “significant errors” in the police watchdog’s probe of the case.
Confirming they had approached the force for a meeting, the families said: “We have been advised it is a private employment meeting and as such we are permitted to attend with minimal representation allowed from each family and that we are to sit in an entirely separate room with audio links only.
In a statement, the families said they have requested a meeting with Leicestershire Police because no member of the “senior leadership team… (has) reached out or communicated with us”.
