QUEBRANDO A NOTÍCIA |
A força das polícias com um orçamento £320 milhão - mas nenhum crime!
Sábado, julho 12o, 2008 Discuta este relatório nos forums de RINF > As polícias de NORTHUMBRIA são uma das forças as mais grandes e as mais ocupadas de Grâ Bretanha. Emprega mais de 4.000 oficiais e tem um orçamento em torno de £320 milhão um ano. Daquele, mais do que £1 milhão é gastado em seu departamento do fotorreceptor. Entretanto, como um journalist freelance baseado em Northumberland, eu sou espantado freqüentemente em como calmo a área é - ou pelo menos se você acreditar o escritório de imprensa da força. Apesar da força que paga agora para staff seu escritório de imprensa em sábados e em domingo, há os fins de semana inteiros em que não um crime é liberado aos meios. Mas há um princípio mais fundamental aqui e aquela é a tradição age-old das polícias que usam os meios advertir o público sobre o que está indo sobre - e para lhe ajudar travar criminosos. Para a última década, eu fiz campanha para polícias de Northumbria para ser mais aberto com o público - isto é. os povos que pagam seus salários. Eu coletei centenas dos exemplos dos crimes sérios que não foram liberados aos meios nem foram liberados semanas ou mesmo meses mais tarde. Estes incluem as violações, os robberies armados e outros ataques horrendous que foram mantidos escondidos do público. Em seguida tendo um número de reuniões com o Constable principal Michael Craik sobre os anos, eu fui prometido repetidamente que o serviço melhoraria. E sim, o orçamento para o escritório de imprensa, foi impulsionado - crescer de £620,000 dois anos há ao £1 milhão ele consome agora. Houve também um aumento grande no número das histórias sobre como os oficiais sênior são figuras do crime do corte. Certamente, cada vez que há um crime horrific - tal como um assassinato ou um ataque da faca - a máquina do fotorreceptor retrocede na vida com umas citações de um oficial sênior que força como “raro” tais crimes são. As well as esticar o credibility, algumas destas indicações são appallingly insensitive. 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…. 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. 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. 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. 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.” 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.

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.
