A High Sheriff is the King’s representative for law and order and the administration of justice in a county. Philippa Mary Gogarty of Bosham was the High Sheriff for West Sussex 2024–2025.
I have been disappointed in the response of the police to a number of community meetings I have held in West Sussex….Going forward if the police do not want to be involved in these meetings or cannot attend I would prefer to know in advance please.
Philippa Gogarty – Former High Sheriff for West Sussex
Read the following email, sent to the Ministry of Injustice, dated the 31st October 2024 and decide for yourself how rude and disrespectful Sussex Police and the Sussex Police Senior Leadership team were to the former High Sheriff of West Sussex and ultimately His Majesty King Charles III.
The email has no Government Security Classification. The Surrey Police and Sussex Police Information Security Policy (722/2023) provides an overarching protective security for Surrey Police and Sussex Police information assets and overall strategy for information security throughout both Forces. It forms the framework and outlines the security measures adopted in order to safeguard the integrity and confidentiality of Force information and information systems.
Thank you for the clarity and for outlining the circumstances which I am frankly mortified about and offer my sincere apologies. I am also very disappointed in those who have let you down and I have asked for that/them to be addressed.

The latest His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) Sussex Police PEEL Assessment – PEEL 2021/22 dated 13th April 2023 stated that Sussex Police Investigating Crime Requires Improvement and Recording data about crime was Inadequate.
Sussex Police refused to record an allegation of stalking as a crime….hardly policing without fear of favour. Check out the article National Stalking Awareness Week – Sussex Police.
