Or maybe it didn't miss that fact.
Maybe they knew and they hired him anyway.
I wouldn't know.
I'm not accusing them of that, but I wouldn't know.
He worked there for many, many years until eventually he applied for a full-time role in the Metropolitan Police Force, which serves and is supposed to protect the Greater London Area.
I'd say that working for the Met Police is
kind of the dream for an aspiring police officer in the south to work for the main police force in the capital city of our country and in 2018 a 45 year old wayne applied and got the job not only had the vetting process missed his troubling debt once again but in the time since the last vetting wayne had gotten up to some even worse this time the vetting process had somehow missed the fact
that this man had been reported for indecent exposure.
And that's an awful enough crime in itself, but the person that Wayne was allegedly exposing his naked body to in public was a child.
This had been reported in 2015, three years before he was given the Met Police job.
The victim's parents had reported his vehicle and it was traced back to Wayne Cousins.
They had his name, they had him, but frustratingly, he was never charged with anything.
And I firmly believe that to be down to police incompetence.
An appointment had been scheduled with the victim's family to get more information, but the officer assigned failed to show up
and even then failed to follow up and schedule another appointment.
So there was no interview, there was no arrest, nothing.
Police had Wayne's name, they had his address, and they knew that he was an active civil nuclear constabulary officer
And I wonder if that had anything to do with them failing to follow up.
His work was never informed that this had been reported.
Nothing was put on his file.
