apology
In our 6 January 2010 edition we reported that Peter Vaughan, the new chief constable of the South Wales Police, had said that somebody else would do his shopping because now that he was chief constable he could not do it himself for security reasons. We now accept that Mr Vaughan did not say this and that our report was based on a misunderstanding by us. The Police Review apologises to Mr Vaughan and the officers and staff of the South Wales Police for any embarrassment this mi stake has caused, including the additional embarrassment due to the repetition of the article in the regional and national media . We are making a donation to South Wales Police Youth Trust (a charity established to help young people in South Wales) as a mar k of our regret and will also pay a contribution towards Mr Vaughan's legal costs.
