Question by Jack H: Are there any skeletons in Leicestershire Police cupboards, what do you think?

If the British media want to slur the Portuguese authorities, perhaps they might want to look closer to home first.

20 December 2006, the BBC reports “Police officers in the East Midlands were convicted of criminal offences over four years on an average of nearly one a month, the BBC has learned. Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show that 45 officers received convictions for 70 crimes from November 2002 to November 2006. Hundreds of others were fined for speeding or parking illegally. Supt Heather Long of Lincolnshire Police said officers who committed crimes were dealt with robustly. The figures from Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire show that 28 sexual offences, eight of driving after taking alcohol or drugs and five physical assaults were committed by police officers.

Then there was John Donnison, a former chief inspector with Leicestershire police. Donnison pleaded guilty in January 2000 to 14 charges of false accounting, and ordered to perform 200 hours’ community service for fiddling his police expenses over a three-year period.

An interesting read might be, Abuse of Trust: Frank Beck and the Leicestershire Childrens’ Homes Scandal. The book is about Frank Beck, an unconventional child-care worker in Leicestershire. The story of Beck is too long to post here, but it is worth clicking on the link. The book contains some useful material, and is especially good on the people and the politics that governed Leicestershire social services.

Quote from related article “Beck always maintained that he had never sexually abused anyone in his care. Far more importantly, he had convinced two key members of his legal team of his innocence. One of these was Ian Henning, a gifted legal executive (and former policeman) who had taken charge of Beck’s defence. The other was Bernard Greaves, the former policy adviser to the Liberal Party. When Greaves first met Beck, he did not believe his denials. But wherever documentary evidence was available, he found it confirmed what Beck had said – that he could not have committed the offences in question. The more they worked on the case, the more Henning and Greaves became convinced that Beck had become the victim of an unprecedented trawling operation in which police officers, in their anxiety to gain a conviction, had inadvertently suggested allegations to the witness they were interviewing”

This interesting snippet in a 2005 forum “Can it be right to put phone taps on residents phones? Why does this Government find the need for this type of action to protect one of their MPs from resident opinions and try to save her seat in the coming elections.The Leicestershire Police have been told not to investigate Racial abuse by Labour Party Members. This is fact not fiction, and to crack down on resident websites for speaking out against corruption. What are these residents doing? They are fighting for the Dream Blair Promised them. New Deal for Communities. New Deal as turned into a Raw Deal. Money for the boys. The Leicestershire Police have closed a website twice in the hope of gagging the residents. FACT.”

An interesting article on the man behind Nationwide Expert Witness Service. Gordon Thomson was Branch Commander with the drug’s wing of the Scottish Crime Squad and has worked throughout the United Kingdom and abroad. He has provided investigative expertise and expert evidence on drug-related matters to the legal profession since 1998. He left Grampian Police amid controversy, admitted aiding and abetting a Leicestershire police officer to commit misconduct, but had his sentence suspended for a year. Cooke helped Thomson in return for the promise of a job with Thomson’s detective agency.

And the list goes on and on and….
