The PCC has now turned his attention to a meeting which took place between West Midlands Police and their counterparts in the Netherlands on 1 October.<\/p>\n
West Midlands Police were looking for advice following a match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax in 2024.<\/p>\n
Simon Foster said he had concerns that the meeting, which took place online, was not recorded and that a handwritten account of the meeting was thrown away after an email summary was sent.<\/p>\n
Foster said this meeting had been a “tipping point” , because the working assumption before this point had been that away fans should attend.<\/p>\n
After the meeting that changed and the assumption became that away fans should not.<\/p>\n
Acting Deputy Chief Constable Jennifer Mattinson has responded to this point.<\/p>\n
She said it was not usual practice to record those meetings for European fixtures but it was “regrettable” the meeting had not been recorded on this occasion.<\/p>\n
She said they would be recorded in the future.<\/p>\n
“Much better record-keeping” was needed, she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meeting with Dutch police examinedpublished at 11:21 GMT 11:21 GMT The PCC has now turned his attention to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":393121,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-393120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=393120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393120\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/393121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=393120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=393120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
