Inspector Monks is the police commander of Rutland.
He likes to be known as Johnny Monks, I think that is one of his first mistakes, immediately he looses that element of respect afforded to his role.
I often remember to talking to my father about school and referring to my teacher, I said Geoff told me…. My Father asked who is Geoff, I replied my teacher, my father was angry and hit me and I think this is when dumbing down started. I was 13 and could not understand my fathers anger at why my teacher did not want to be known as Mr or Sir. I guess you can say I rebelled and very frequently am I address by my surname.
Many readers may not know Inspector Monks produces a monthly news letter, in his letter he promotes the good work of Rutland’s Police.
He says the main focus of his policing team is keeping Rutland a safe place to work and live.
He says we have a low amount of crime and anti social behaviour.
This not what people are telling me who live in around my ward. Many people just don’t bother reporting incidents due to lack of interest from Oakham Police.
If you live in the path of a local pub, like residents in Finkey Street, you may have fitted a security door to the front of your home because you are fed up repairing your wooden front door.
Cold Overton Road residents suffer the same it could be your pot plants are smashed, you door kicked or a large amount of litter in the streets or gardens.
If you live around Royce Recreation Ground where do I start? Fires, Litter, damage to property and noise (at this weeks council meeting we are expected to approve the purchase of a replacement piece of play equipment after the new swing has been broken twice £14,500 is the quote!)
Residents often write to Oakham Town Council complaining about Anti Social Behaviour. Although this area is the ward I serve, I am never copied those letters.
After the recent installation of play equipment, one letter was read out at a council meeting, with the name and address removed. Although other Councillor knew the name I was not told, the author highlighted concerns.
The entire council including the other two ward councillors, Lucas and Haworth rejected the complaint and patronised the author by saying they always complain and should not live near recreation ground. Not everyone is fortunate to live in the more affluent areas of Oakham as is the case of many councillors. I suggest we relocate Royce Recreation and all its young people into their neighbourhood.
Inspector Monks reports up to 1st April we have had thirteen burglaries seven less than the previous year. There was a 50% reduction in anti social behaviour.
The force had given £2,500 to local worthy causes and charities, The proceeds of crime act 2002 allows the police to take money from criminals and give it to charities.
I think Inspector Monks is living in a cloud, he needs to come down to earth. I suggest people are not reporting crime because of apathy. My own experienceof the local force is one of we can’t be bothered.
I am especially pleased Mr Hibbert has gone, he was employed as a civilian and posted to the front desk at Oakham Police Station. He often told the public he was a real police officer he forgot to mention he was retired an no longer a serving officer.
Officers often said to me don’t show me the letter or the photograph because I will have to complete a statement. Is that not what one hopes would happen when you visit a police station?
Leicestershire police have a record of not listening to people it stretches back many years.
Most recently the tragic case of the mother who was so taunted she killed herself and her daughter.
Then there was the complaints about Frank Beck who worked for Leicestershire Social Services, he nearly slipped through the net until he moved to Hertfordshire Social Services. People often complained about him this included my own brother who Mr Frank taught to drive whilst preying on him.
Repeated complaints did pay off in the end and Beck was convicted, many other members of the etablishment got away with the help of Leicestershire and Hertfordshire police.
Hertfordshire Police are in my view the same as Leicestershire.
It was good to see Hertfordshire police finally listened to a mother and a Letchworth man has been sent to prison for sending obscene text messages teenage to her teenage daughter. If the mother had not persistently complained this man would have continued.
They keep telling us the police have changed, they never change. The glossy adverts and brochures have changed.
I made a complaint to the IPC and guess what they now ask the same police force to investigate themsleves!
So not much chance of anything ever being resolved here in Oakham.
I dont think the police have every changed they will always support the establishment. It reminds me of one of my early memories of the police not handling things correctly the time a caretaker at Icknield School in Letchworth used to check school records and find mothers telephone numbers and call them for self gratification this was before 0898 numbers when you could dial a disc on 16 for the cost of a local call, no premium rate then. Dozens of mothers complained at Letchworth police station including my own mother before they took action almost a year later, it was rumoured the police only took action because the police sergeants wife became a victim, Back then it was very easy the police to trace callers. The police I feel took no action because North Hertfordshire District Council did not want the police to take any action for fear of adverse publicity.
So in conclusion if you want change just keep complaining, don’t give up, the three clowns from Oakham Town Council, who sit on police committees not going to help bring change because they are not interested in receiving your input.
They are so happy with their involvement with the police Cllr Dewis arranged for their permanent unelected membership of the committee.
Referring to Cllr Alf Dewis in a recent blog, I published he was sacked by Rutland County Council along with another member of staff after a tribunal found in favour of a member of staff who was sacked whilst of sick.
Cllr Alf Dewis did not approach me for a correction instead he raised a complaint with the standards committee.
I have checked Cllr Alf Dewis was not sacked he resigned before he could be sacked.
I am not sure why he sees this as a matter for standards for England to Investigate.
My publication suggesting he was sacked could not do him any harm because his Consultancy Company has been dissolved, his customers made up their own minds before I published anything.
It is very interesting he has not complained about my publications about his bullying.
Councillors like proof. I found a site Alf used to display photographs of me that had been photoshopped, all part of his fun group of Councillors present and past and their friends.
The bully has thankfully deleted the comments and images.
I have registered my details with Google and they send me e-mail notification of any internet posting made about me. It is a wonderful tool will and certainly help in any harassment case. the behaviour conducted by Councillors and their mates is unacceptable, I would prefer they just grew up and stopped!
Here is one Google example.

Cllr Dewis should really consider resigning he is clearly helping to bring Oakham Town Council into direpute.
I suggest too the police the photo shop experts like Dewis and Harrison are responsible for the disgusting images sent to me via email and the post.
"Undercover officers made test purchases and found this to be true before Saturday night's operation when the caravan was seized.
