Sarah Crew is a British Police Chief Constable.
Life
She attended Bristol Grammer School where she was good at running in the 800 metres. The staff there gave her extra lessons to support har application to Oxford University to study Classics.
She joined the police in 1994 and nine years later she was a Detective Inspector.
She worked with academics on an collaboration called Project Bluestone where they were trying to improve the response to victims of rape.
She made headlines in 2023 when she conceded that her organisation was "institutionally racist" and it unfairly discriminate against women, LGBTQ+ and those with disabilities. She was clear to indentift that this was not a label for individual officers but for her constabulary as a whole.
Criticism followed the screening of a Channel 4 programme that looked at how the police investigated themselves in Avon and Somerset. The local police federation raised objections even though they, like Crew had agreed to the filming.
80 women had been killed in the UK in 2024. Jess Phillips had committed to end the "scourge of femicide" and the Guardian had announced that it intended to report every death in 2015. Crew was interviewed by that newspaper in January 2025 where she cautioned domestic abusers that they were offering help but the police intended to arrest offenders.
