There was recently a case at Teesside Crown Court where a judge, Mr Michael Taylor, was forced to release a paedophile because the Cleveland police had failed twice to attend court and give evidence. Further information is here. Hardly the best way to maintain public confidence in the police.

If you’re keen to find out more about how Cleveland Police are building public confidence log onto their website. Do click, “what we are doing to tackle crime in your area and our commitment to you through both the Policing Pledge and our Putting Paedophiles People First programme”. That sounds interesting! Click “MORE”

Well, that’s clear. Some management consultant somewhere is laughing all the way to the bank.
If you want to maintain public confidence in the police, do your job: convict criminals such as paedophile. Quit with bullshit chart junk.

Cleveland Police are the most corrupt police force in the UK. The Lancet files found over 50 corrupt police officers after a 3 year investigation concluded in 2002 that it was not in the best interest of the public to prosecute. The very same officers are now even more senior than before and even more corrupt.

Cleveland Police last year raided Alan Ellis of Oink.cd a file sharing site that like Google points people in the direction of information.
Cleveland Police said it was the first raid of it's kind with servers taken down in Denmark.
Soon after it was found that the very same law Cleveland Police were enforcing they were breaking by not paying their PRS licence.
Section 11: no reporting has been placed on the case without explanation.

A miscarriage of justice committed by Cleveland Police.
The emergency call was played in court at Suzanne’s trial. In it, clearly panicking, Suzanne describes Kyle as going ‘all floppy, he’s not breathing, his eyes are rolling and everything’ – a classic description of an epileptic fit.
