"The allegations against Det Sgt Mackennon are based on nothing more than assumption, speculation and hyperbole, and smear. Instead of recognising the reality of systemic organisational failure in training and policy, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has directed that an example is made of a long-serving, loyal, highly recommended and respected police officer."
"Officer A, line-managed by Det Sgt Ray Mackennon, was appointed to investigate Carrick in August 2021 after a woman told police that Carrick had raped her multiple times during their five-month relationship. Mackennon is accused of failing to ensure Officer A adequately investigated the allegations against Carrick made by the woman - referred to as Female E."
Det Sgt Ray Mackennon faces misconduct allegations for allegedly failing to ensure thorough investigation of serial rapist David Carrick by Officer A in 2021. The investigation followed a woman's report that Carrick raped her multiple times during their relationship. Mackennon is accused of inadequate oversight, potential bias, failure to contact witnesses, and neglecting to investigate misogynistic Facebook messages between Carrick and the victim's partner. Mackennon's legal representative argues the allegations lack substantive evidence and represent an attempt to blame an individual officer rather than address systemic training and policy failures within the organization.
