A senior female officer in the UK is under scrutiny for suspected serious wrongdoing after ignoring a police dog charity.

Assistant Commissioner Pippa Mills of Scotland Yard is under investigation for alleged prejudice toward the Thin Blue Paw Foundation.

The charity claims it experienced ‘bullying through isolation’ and that she declined to interact with them, resulting in its exclusion from events.

She is charged with favoring organizations like the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals (NFRSA) due to ‘personal connections’.

The organization Thin Blue Paw, dedicated to supporting active and former working dogs, shared an image of Ms. Mills, 51, participating in a 1,000-mile fundraising motorcycle ride with the Met to benefit the NFRSA.

The Museum rejected the grievance last August.

However, the Independent Office for Police Conduct has recently mandated a new investigation by the National Crime Agency.

Ms. Mills, who previously served as the Chief Constable of West Mercia, is currently on loan to the National Police Chiefs Council, where she oversees the training and management of police dogs.

She oversaw security for William and Kate’s wedding as well as Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee.

Senior professionals are taken aback by the serious investigation into what is considered a minor allegation.

Ms. Mills has refuted the allegations, stating that she has never attempted to dissuade law enforcement agencies and groups from collaborating with Thin Blue Paw.

Additionally, Ms. Mills is also beingexamined by the Metropolitan Police regarding claims of mistreating employees who were under her supervision within the department.
