¡La fuerza del policía con un presupuesto £320 millón - solamente ningún crimen!

Sábado 12 de julio de 2008
Discuta este informe en los foros de RINF >

El policía de NORTHUMBRIA es una de las fuerzas más grandes y más ocupadas de Gran Bretaña. Emplea a más de 4.000 oficiales y tiene un presupuesto alrededor de £320 millón un año. De ése, más que £1 millón está pasada en su departamento de la banda. Sin embargo, como periodista independiente basado en Northumberland, me sorprenden con frecuencia en cómo es pacífico es el área - o por lo menos si usted cree la oficina de prensa de la fuerza. A pesar de la fuerza ahora que paga proveer de personal su oficina de prensa el sábados y domingo, hay los fines de semana enteros en que no un crimen se lanza a los medios.
 Sería fácil discutir que, como periodista, creo solamente en el policía que es más abiertos porque me ayudará a hacer mi trabajo. Sí, eso es verdad.

Pero hay un principio más fundamental aquí y ésa es la tradición histórica del policía que usa los medios para advertir al público sobre qué se está encendiendo - y ayudarle a coger a criminales.

Para la década pasada, he hecho campaña para el policía de Northumbria para ser más abierto con el público - es decir. la gente que paga sus salarios.

He recogido centenares de ejemplos de los crímenes serios que no se han lanzado a los medios ni se han lanzado las semanas o aún los meses más adelante.

Éstos incluyen las violaciones, los robos armados y otros ataques horrendos que se han mantenido ocultados del público.

Después teniendo un número de reuniones con el principal guardia Michael Craik sobre los años, me han prometido en varias ocasiones que el servicio mejoraría.

Y sí, el presupuesto para la oficina de prensa, se ha alzado - el crecimiento de £620,000 hace dos años al £1 millón él ahora consume.

También ha habido un aumento grande en el número de historias sobre cómo los antiguos funcionarios son figuras del crimen del corte.

De hecho, cada vez que hay un crimen horrific - tal como un asesinato o un ataque del cuchillo - la máquina de la banda golpea con el pie en vida con una cotización de un antiguo funcionario que tensiona cómo “raro” son tales crímenes.

Así como estirar credibilidad, algunas de estas declaraciones son espantoso insensibles.
One chief inspector recently went as far as describing a double murder as an “isolated incident”.

In fact, it would appear they are cutting them so dramatically that one recent weekend saw not one crime worthy of being given out by Northumbria….
Not one incident from Friday afternoon to Monday morning that was worth putting on the tape-recorded telephone “voice-bank” which journalists now have to rely on for their information.

However, through an application under the Freedom of Information Act, I discovered there had been more than 4,800 incidents that weekend, including 161 serious crimes.
So why may you ask were none of these released to the public ?

A good question – and one I’ve been trying to have answered for nearly 10 years now.

In the past, I have taken the liberty of occasionally writing to or telephoning the senior officer concerned.

There then usually followed a reasonable and well-mannered debate in which they would either quote particular “operational reasons” or admit there was no good reason why the public had not been warned.

But now, following the publication of a series of articles in The Guardian, The Times, Press Gazette and other publications, I have been banned from even daring to ask such questions.

In a letter, Deputy Chief Constable David Warcup claims crimes are not released for “operational reasons” and the force does not have to “justify” such decisions.
Needless to say, my correspondence on the issue now goes unanswered.

As a journalist with more than 23 years’ experience – most of it spent specialising in crime – I appreciate there are times when crimes might have to be held back for genuine “operational reasons”.

But there is no way they have to be held back in such huge numbers.
No, the simple truth is that the £1 million spent on Northumbria’s press office is more interested in promoting the image of the force’s senior officers.

My contacts tell me that, as part of that strategy, they have to reduce the “fear of crime” and, if that means telling the public less, then so be it.

Mr Warcup recently defended the force’s expenditure on PR by saying: “Although crime in Northumbria has fallen significantly in the past 10 years, our research shows that the perception of crime has not.

“We have therefore invested a significant amount in services which aim to make sure people have a better understanding of crime in their region.”
In other words, he is spending more money making sure people believe the crime figures they put out.

Ironically, since the publication of my comments, I have been contacted by a number of police contacts who agree with my stance.

Like me, they are not anti-police.

However, as well as being police officers, they are also members of the public – and taxpayers.

And, like me, they believe that, in a democracy, the likes of Mr Warcup should have to justify why the public are kept in the dark about what is happening in their area.

Have Your Say: The Police force with a £320 million budget – but no crime!

    Well done Mr Green, but your seach for answers has only just begun. The Police authorities spend a massive amount on Diversity training, Common Purpose training and NLP courses, some Police Heads are even NLP practitioners.
    If Policemen/women are not Diverse enough, they will not be promoted. Police Authorities will be tested on their EU Diversity training by 2009 - not on crime. Diversity training includes political attitude, a programmed officer will tell you that ” this ‘democratically’ elected Government has the power”………… Other officers are perturbed by behavioural changes in some of their colleagues. Some police on ‘postings now do not take the Oath.
    These EU citizens are programmed to be anti-British and wrongly believe that Treason and Misprision of Treason are not crimes. They are trained to follow an agenda to change the whole fabric of our police forces and crime fighting to make way for EU State police - or Police State.
    We were warned of this long ago, when I too was sceptical, surely people can see what is happening for themselves, if they don’t wake up soon it will be too late.

    I hope the public will be monitoring David Warrcup when he takes up his new post on Jersey, as superintendent there are some very negative comments about him appearing on the net. Officers are afraid that the Jersey investigation may be pushed under the carpet again.
    Will the public allow this to happen, I hope not, the people who perpetrated those horrific crimes must be brought to justice. Is David Warrcup going to make sure they are?
