Nottinghamshire Police

Nottinghamshire Police are under intense scrutiny due to their failure to apprehend Valdo Calocane, the perpetrator of the 2023 Nottingham attacks, prior to the incident. Calocane fatally stabbed three people: Grace O’Malley-Kumar, Barnaby Webber, and Ian Coates, on June 13, 2023. A public inquiry is currently underway to investigate the circumstances surrounding the attacks, including missed opportunities by various agencies. The police, along with NHS England and the relevant NHS trust, have apologized to the bereaved families for failures. Specifically, an arrest warrant for Calocane had been issued ten months before the killings, but was not acted upon. The inquiry is focused on determining why Calocane was free to commit the attacks, with families of the victims seeking the full truth and accountability. The force's actions, or lack thereof, are central to the inquiry's investigation and findings.
