Have the police cleaned up their act since 1999 when the HMIC accused them of being so corrupt as to undermine Public Confidence in the Police Service? In a word No. Read on

A report by the IPCC slates the British Police for the way they deal with complaints. One of the worst is Greater Manchester Police. No Shit Sherlock!!
Even after 4 long years, GMP, GMPA and others still cover up Barnard's misdeeds and try to evade the inevitable conclusion which will be Justice For Kristian Abbott.
As 2011 draws to a close, I find myself asking where has this year gone? It seems to have been eaten up completely. We are currently no further on in our quest for Justice, still banging our heads against walls and still having to fight through institutional corruption and arrogance. Read On Here
The latest attempt by GMP to sideline David Abbott's complaint against Paul Barnard and others from the PSB is such a poor attempt. Barnard himself is now newly moved to Rochdale neighbourhood policing. Read it here
The Present Furore about Phone Hacking, Police Corruption and the Press, made us wonder if such a thing goes on in Manchester? In particular does the Manchester Evening News report everything about the police objectively? Or does the same culture exist as with the Nationals where money changes hands and the police get left pretty much alone. To find out more click this link
David Abbott's application for Judicial Review was refused in December with a bizarre ruling from the Judge. Apparently the Chief Officer of GMP can do what he likes without fear of being held responsible. Read it here
In a report on the BBC today the IPCC has slated the British Police for their appalling record in dealing with the public's complaints against police officers.
Well, No Shit Sherlock as the saying goes. You can read the link here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16211338 . Surprise surprise, GMP was named as one of the worst forces when it comes to recording and dealing with complaints. Most of their decisions are overturned on appeal and there are an increasing number of complainants who are resorting to Judicial Review to get their complaints properly dealt with.
It will come as no surprise to readers that one of the worst forces is Greater Manchester Police. The experience of David Abbott and the way his complaints have been dealt with are an excellent example of that. David made a complaint against Chief Supt. Dave Keller for the way he dealt with David's complaint against Paul Barnard. That complaint was rejected and only after Judicial Review hearings were looming did the IPCC change their mind and order GMP to investigate. The person appointed to investigate was ACC Terry Sweeney who did the sum total of nothing. When David complained to the GMPA about Sweeney they promised to look into it. Nothing more was heard. Then suddenly, David received a letter from the complaints manager at GMP saying that they were applying for dispensation from further investigation of his co0mplaint.
That is exactly why GMP are so poor in dealing with complaints. There is a corporate attitude in GMP that seems to feel that if they just ignore complaints then they will go away. They, GMP spend more time and effort in trying not to investigate complaints than it would take to actually investigate. The same is true of some parts of the IPCC who seem to favour the police at every turn.
There are simple lessons here for everyone involved:
1. record and investigate complaints thoroughly
2. Keep the public informed as to what you are doing
3. Ban any former police officer from working with the IPCC and make it trruly independent.
Just do these simple things that are common sense and you never know but in the future people might start to trust the police again. That in turn may have a marked effect on crime as the majority of society start to support the police again. You never know it could stop future unrest and riots such as we saw last August. It might also stop the need for publicity junkie Peter Fahy from appearing with some new, doomed to failure from the start, initiative designed to drive everyone including his officers completely mad.
It is nice to know that we have been right all along and that the way GMP has dealt with complaints is simply not good enough. What is needed now for Manchester is to get a decent police commissioner who is not on of the boys to take on Fahy and sort GMP out once and for all. What is that? Paul Murphy? You have to be kidding me.

It seems that Bury C.I.D. are snooping round harassing people about who owns and produces this site. Are we getting to them with the truth?
Kristian's barrister for his trial was either a conniving, conspiratorial liar or she was so incompetent that it is inconceivable that she can be allowed in a Court and especially defending someone against the serious charges Kristian faced. Read on and see what you think in Charlotte Crangle -Liar.
First London, Now Cleveland when will it be the turn of GMP and the GMPA? Are bottoms twitching at the GMPA? Have there been abuses of power? Fraud through Misconduct in Public Office?
Whilst in prison Kristian adapted a famous song by Johnny Cash: Fulsom Prison Blues. We are sure the great man in black would have heartily approved. One day when he has the time maybe he will record it and do a video for Yuo Tube. Who Knows?
The probation service part 8 .The similarities between the phone hacking scandal and all the attempts to deny what went on are echoed in the way Greater Manchester Probations Trust dealt with the complaints about their treatment of Kristian.
