Humberside Chief Constable turning blind eye to police failing to investigate criminal allegations of malfeasance and fraud involving a false claim made by Justices' clerk for Humber and South Yorkshire that 10 items of post had been sent to the complainant between 19 December 2013 and 13 December 2016 which the complainant claims never to have received, and believes they were dishonestly constructed later (to cover their tracks) to satisfy enquiries made by the judicial ombudsman (JACO). The complainant considers these matters should be investigated by Humberside Police as a Crime (Local Resolution complaint CO 535/17)

Dear Mr Freeman / Ms Heatley,
Thank you for your email.
Your suggestion that I seek redress through the courts is irresponsible as well as ironic when you consider it
was acting on the same advice some years ago which has led to the predicament I am now in.
We are dealing with the most serious of crimes involving the Ministry of Justice dishonestly claiming to have
replied to letters relating to high court proceedings over a number of years.
If my correspondence had been ignored over the protracted period of time then the matter would border on
criminal/gross misconduct, however, replies to my letters were dishonestly claimed to have been sent and had
even been constructed when enquiries were made by the Judicial Ombudsman and HMCTS in order to cover
the tracks of the Ministry of Justice (after they were purportedly sent). There is therefore no ambiguity as to
the fact that this is a criminal matter and therefore does not need a court to arrive at that decision.
The force seems to think that any unlawful decisions it makes can conveniently be dealt with by applying the
statutory framework of the Police Reform Act and ultimately have its legal department cover them up. For the
avoidance of doubt the allegations amount to criminal offences by Humberside police for refusing to record
these matters and carry out investigations proportionate to the level of seriousness of them. The matter is
therefore one which concerns the Chief Constable which is why my concerns were raised specifically for his
attention (see IOPC 4 June email).
To reiterate, I trust this matter will be taken care of without too much more inconvenience to myself.
Yours Sincerely
.

Dear Mr ,
The matters which you refer to below, have been dealt with as a complaint (CO/535/17 refers), which
you received a final outcome letter from DI Foster on 25th
May 2018. This complaint was dealt with by
way of local resolution as a direction and control matter, which means you have no right of appeal.
If you are unhappy with this and wish to consider redress through the courts, I would advise that you
seek independent legal advice.
Regards
Emma

Dear Mr Freeman
Malfeasance and Fraud involving the Ministry of Justice
I am following advice (see below email) from the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) regarding
a recent outcome to a conduct complaint dated 25 May 2018 (CO/535/17).
You will notice that the relevant part is that relating to a reported crime (i.e., whether a reported crime
warrants an investigation). The IOPC has inappropriately put the onus on me to do the necessary research
to weigh up whether the force's decision making is in accordance with guidelines set by the Home Office.
I do not need to know this; all I know is that it is of paramount importance that the present matter involving
gross dishonesty within the Ministry of Justice is investigated and successfully prosecuted. Whether
Humberside police has the resources and expertise to deal with this or it requires referring to another body
(serious fraud office for example), either way it does not seem to me to be an option to allow it to be swept
under the carpet.
I trust this matter will be taken care of without too much more inconvenience to myself.
I will contact the PSD directly as advised regarding the irregularity in the way complaints are
handled, i.e., recording obvious conduct matters as direction and control.
Yours sincerely
.

Dear Mr
Thank you for contacting the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), I acknowledge
receipt of your email of 3 June 2018.
I note in your correspondence that you have some concerns with regards to Humberside Police
10/04/2020
3. Page 3 of 3
recording your complaint under their reference CO/535/17 as a Direction and Control matter.
A ‘direction and control’ matter means a matter that relates to the direction and control of a police
force by the chief officer or someone carrying out the chief officer’s functions for the time being.
The IOPC considers the term direction and control to mean general decisions about how a force
is run, as opposed to the day-to-day decisions or actions of persons serving with the police,
which affect individual members of the public – including those that affect more than one
individual. ‘Conduct’ includes acts, omissions, statements and decisions.
The decision whether a reported crime warrants an investigation is an operational decision made
in accordance with guidelines set by the Home Office. If you believe that a police force is failing
to adhere to these guidelines, you should raise your concerns directly with the Chief Constable of
the police force concerned or the local Police and Crime Commissioner.
If you believe your complaint is about the conduct of the police officers involved than a general
operational decision, then we would advise you contact the Professional Standards Department
(PSD) directly at this stage on the below details:
