Police recruit charged in plot
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. -- A New York City police recruit pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges that he plotted to have his ex-girlfriend killed for $3,000 because she didn't want to get married, prosecutors said.
Authorities said they nabbed Kabeer Din, 22, when he met with an undercover officer posing as a hired killer, discussed a plan to kill the woman and handed over his credit card, New York Police Department chief spokesman Paul Browne said Monday.

UK: Transparency on police mis
for Scotland has said.
Commissioner John McNeil issued the guidance to the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland (ACPOS) after Tayside Police chose not to follow up two cases of misconduct proceedings against its officers following allegations of assault on members of the public.
The Procurator Fiscal decided not to take action and the deputy chief constable of Tayside decided against further proceedings. In two reports published on October 19, Mr McNeill expressed concern that the force did not provide the complainants with sufficiently detailed reasons as to why no further action was taken.
The newly-issued guidelines outline how Scotland’s police forces should communicate their decisions to members of the public on whether they will pursue misconduct proceedings against officers. Specifically, Mr McNeil stressed that in final letters to complainants, police forces should make it clear that the case of misconduct was properly considered and make apparent the reasons behind any decisions.
Mr McNeill said the new guidelines were designed to improve the standard of the police complaints system in Scotland and increase public confidence in the eight forces.
He said: “My aim in writing to ACPOS is to ensure consistency and transparency in how decisions are communicated to the public when the police decide whether or not to pursue misconduct proceedings against their officers and staff.
“It makes absolute sense to me that the person whose complaint initiated the matter should be told, not only of the final decision, but also of the reasons behind that decision.”
Mr McNeill also criticised Tayside Police for its response to a complaint and the resulting arrest of a person handing out political literature on a university campus.
