12 February (Part 1) - More police uselessness
Bexley is losing another police
commander. At least Peter Ayling stayed for two years instead of one.
Unlike his two predecessors I never ever spoke to him or have any very direct
reason to complain. In fact I believe it may have been his decision to refer
the Cheryl Bacon case
to Greenwich to head off the usual complaints about Bexley police.
viz. that they live in Bexley council’s pocket.
However not every resident regards
Ayling’s term of office as being benign. The lady
who was wrongly arrested at Heathrow couldn’t get any comment out of him and put
in a high level complaint; and closer to home, Mick Barnbrook had a similar
experience and ultimately put in a formal Misconduct allegation to Commissioner
Hogan-Howe. That was last July.
This is what he received in the post at the end of last week…
This is from the same police officer who has been sitting on my
June 2012
complaint doing next to nothing. Is it possible there is some sort of conspiracy
within the senior ranks of the Metropolitan Police to protect all of their
senior officers from the consequences of their actions and inaction?
