Leicestershire Police, The Assistant Chief Constable and the IPCC Merry Go Round, Cllr Haworth, Helen Briggs

This week I received a letter from The Assistant Chief Constable who appears to have no knowledge
of any formal complaints from me or anyone regarding, The special relationship his force enjoys with Mrs Helen Briggs CEO of Rutland County Council and Oakham Town council.

I replied to him and did has he suggested I made a formal complaint to the IPCC , although I did mention
it is a pointless task. Because for years now I seem to find the issue spins around in circles.

I emailed the IPCC in London and you guess it they sent back to the IPCC in Leicester they share the same coffee machine as the Chief Constable but claim to be independent?

They have asked me to contact Leicestershire Police with my complaint!

So:

Dear Mr Kay,

get your act together arrest Councillor Charles Haworth charge him, you have signed admissions
of his unlawful conduct, so when he stands in front of the District Judge you won't get crap on your'e face
because he is guilty.

I imagine you are worried he will change his plea and drop his friends like Inspector Johnny Monks in it up to to their necks?

If you treated the reporting of homophobic hate crimes seriously especially when you obtained an admission of guilt I would not be complaining!

Kind Regards

From

Martin Brookes

Dear Mr Brookes

Thank you for contacting the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). We acknowledge receipt of your email dated 3 February 2014 regarding your complaint against Leicestershire Constabulary. The case reference number is 2014/022223, which you should quote in all future correspondence.

We are completely independent of the police service and are responsible for making sure that the police complaints system in England and Wales works effectively and fairly. However, each police force is responsible for considering complaints made against that force and recording your complaint.

I know that your email has already been sent to the Assistant Chief Constable however I have also passed your email to the Professional Standards Department (PSD) of Leicestershire Constabulary to ensure they have a copy of your complaint.


If you have not heard from the relevant police force within 15 working days you may wish to contact them directly.
