Community Trigger

What is it with Lewisham Council and MPSLewisham keeping people in the dark about their rights when it comes to ASB? They did it regarding their joint ‘ASB Minimum Standards’  and there has also been a complete lack of publicity about the Community Trigger.

The Community Trigger came into force on 20th October 2014 to ’empower victims and communities’, this by enabling victims of Anti-Social Behaviour to insist on a multi-agency case review if they had reported a minimum of three incidents in the past six months but the ASB was still continuing.

There has been concern about the way Councils have implemented and are adhereing to the Community Trigger and its aims, these are detailed in a Report by ASB Help, the link to which can be found at Community Trigger: Empowerment or Bureaucratic Exercise?

In October 2016 I raised three concerns, via Cllr Daby as she is the Cabinet Member for Community Safety –

That Lewisham Council has not published the Community Trigger statistics as law requires

 Reply – “Lewisham Council has not received any applications to activate the community trigger since its commencement in October 2014. This will be confirmed on the council web pages in due course as I will ask the Council’s web team to add a line about no applications submitted on our Community Trigger page. I agree this should have been recorded, even as zero, last year and will be updated each October.”

  •  Although a sentence did then appear on the Council’s website, as at 16/02/18 the statistics for 2017 have not been published, the law states they must be published annually

 

The Lewisham Council website re Community Trigger does not give details of any other agencies via which ASB victims can activate the Community Trigger

The law states “consideration should be given to the fact that some victims may feel more comfortable contacting one agency than another” –

To summarise the Lewisham Council replies, they and their partners had agreed between themselves that they would “divert” all residents who wanted to activate the Community Trigger to one “gateway” which would be the Council’s website

this would “ensure that the applications were received by a regularly monitored inbox and were not lost. This would also help with ensuring a timely response to the application”

No “consideration” then, just what suits the Council and their partners – who it seems cannot be trusted to deal appropriately with correspondence tsk tsk – so much for “empowering victims”.

 

Given ASB is consistently a police ‘priority’ on most wards in Lewisham, the reason(s) why there were no requests from any Lewisham residents to activate the Community Trigger/case review

Ah well, Lewisham Council works in close partnership with Police and Housing partners to address ASB and crime concerns, with effective mechanisms for escalation. This ensures that as far as possible, Lewisham residents should not need to activate the trigger as they are receiving a response within the boundaries set by the trigger threshold.”

So the reason for zero CT activations isn’t the complete lack of publicity about the right to activate it – no no not that at all – it’s that the Council and its partners are so good at dealing with ASB that…well, it’s dealt with, it stops…

most odd then that ASB has been consistently raised as a priority by residents on most wards, time and time again…

and what are these “effective mechanisms for escalation”?  What could they be, escalated how, to whom?  Not to a multi-agency case review obvs because that’s the Community Trigger and that had never been activated.

Still, as long as the Council and partners are satisfied with their response, that’s the test right?  Actually no, the whole point of CT is whether those suffering/reporting ASB are satisfied with the response – when they are still suffering incidents despite reporting them they have the right to activate CT…

so I pointed out that “Victims might be “receiving a response within the boundaries set by the trigger threshold” but the issue as regards legislation giving the right to activate Community Trigger is whether the victim of ASB is satisfied the response is timely/effective.”

The reply was…how can I politely describe it…oh I can’t politely describe it…see it for yourself…

“The legislation sets out the minimum criteria for the threshold of when the trigger can be activated. Lewisham has adopted this, as most other boroughs have. If a resident/ complainant is dissatisfied that the response is not timely or effective then they have the opportunity to complain using the council’s service complaints procedure.

If someone complains 3 times in 6 months and do not get a response, then they have met threshold for the trigger. There is a distinction here between complaining about the service received, which would then be dealt with by the service complaints procedure and receiving no response from that service within the trigger threshold (i.e. if an individual has reported antisocial behaviour to the Council, police and/or a social landlord three times about separate incidents in the last six months and it is perceived that no action has been taken, or if five individuals in the local community have reported similar incidents of antisocial behaviour separately and it is perceived that no action has been taken.)”

Erm…right…my point though…?

I had raised the issue of complete lack of publicity re the right to CT, the issue I believe the Council is completely avoiding is that the purpose of the CT is NOT that Councils, and their partners, can just think/say they are effectively dealing with reports of ASB but whether those suffering/reporting ASB are satisfied with what the Council, and partners, have done…and if not they can activate CT…

but to fulfil that people need to know about their right to activate the CT…

why doesn’t the Council give the Community Trigger widespread publicity, and why isn’t it widely publicised by Lewisham police, and the other relevant agencies?

According to the Council that was happening, in response to my further pressing about lack of publicity for CT Cllr Daby stated “Housing providers in the borough also advertise the trigger on the website, as do Metropolitan police.”

So I searched the Metropolitan Police and housing providers’ websites –

I could not find Community Trigger on the Metropolitan Police website (I searched for “community trigger” and “trigger” and also looked on their two anti-social behaviour pages).

Using the same searches as for MPS I could not find Community Trigger on these example housing providers’ websites – Phoenix Housing, L&Q, Hyde, Lewisham Homes, Regenter,  Amicus Horizon.

Affinity Sutton made the barest mention of it in an FAQ-style list.

Family Mosaic stated in an ASB policy PDF document “People can activate a Community Trigger by contacting their Local Authority”.

The vast majority who searched the MPS and/or their housing provider websites for info re ASB would clearly be none the wiser about their right to activate CT.

When I replied to Cllr Daby explaining the above and that it was not correct that housing providers and the Met police advertise Community Trigger on their websites she replied “sorry but I don’t think I can add to this any further”.

But…but you said they adverti…but they don’t…so…

  • I checked the Met Police website again today, 16/02/18, using the same searches but still could not find any mention of the Community Trigger.

 

As stated in the ASB Help Report (my emphasis) –

“The statutory guidance is clear:

 .
‘The Community Trigger can be used by a person of any age, and agencies should make it as accessible as possible to all victims’…
 .
‘Agencies should consider how to maximise awareness of the Community Trigger, in particular among vulnerable people’…
.
‘The Community Trigger can be used by any person and agencies should consider how to make it as accessible as possible to young people, those who are vulnerable, have learning difficulties or do not speak English’.”

Don’t tell anyone though, it’s a secret.

Criminal Damage 15/08/17

Yet another incident – more criminal damage – 15/08/17, that’s over eight years of incidents  – hate incidents against a disabled woman – and the responsibility lies on

Lewisham police for refusing to protect me and my property since 2009

the Metropolitan Police ‘Service’ for thwarting my evidenced complaints since 2011 – special mention for PS Liz Gibbs of the Directorate of Professional Standards (sic)

and the IPCC for refusing to uphold their own Statutory Guidance in order that they could assist the police in covering up serious misconduct –

shame on you all, you are an utter disgrace #NoLessonsLearnt

This is the coward who caused criminal damage on 15/08/17, any info on where it lives please let me know, in full confidence of course.

PS Anderson…Again

PS Anderson, Lewisham police, at it again, this time in 2012, still stating there was no evidence…but without stating for “the uninitiated” why there wasn’t evidence…

ie because Lewisham police had refused to retrieve CCTV evidence, Lewisham Council had consistently ‘lost’ the CCTV evidence, and both had refused to speak to an independent witness when I was repeatedly threatened with violence/death…

proof of this on these links…

cctv lies1

cctv lies 2

cctv lies 3

and PS Anderson had himself written the minutes of the meeting 31/08/11 clearly stating there had been a fault with the CCTV which had affected the cameras in my home

Scroll down to Minutes of Meeting 31/08/11

Why didn’t PS Anderson state all this, and the rest, for “the uninitiated”?

“This year” Lewisham Council had continued to ‘lose’ CCTV evidence and Lewisham police had continued to falsely report incidents.

Oh and “minor criminality”?  Really?  A physically disabled woman being repeatedly targeted by a criminal family, and their associates, suffering incidents for years-

my car: wing mirror broken off, rear windscreen smashed, indelible graffiti, repeatedly kicked, repeatedly spat on, scratched and dented, food thrown onto it, burning cigarette thrown onto it.

my front window smashed

edging and ornament in my back garden broken/smashed

threats of violence and death– several of the perpetrators have threatened to slap me, punch me, put me “on the ground”

threatened to stop reporting incidents “That c*** better keep her mouth shut”

missiles repeatedly thrown at my house/windows – back and front – and at my car,

repeated verbal abuse – including obscenities F-word, C-word, b*tch, w*nker and ‘hate’ abuse – when I’ve gone outside and into my back garden.

This is “minor criminality” is it Lewisham police?!

Let’s remember though that this is the same PS15 Duncan Anderson who –

two months after he wrote the minutes of the meeting 31/08/11 stating there was a fault with the CCTV in my home

and six weeks after my front window was smashed (link)

and three weeks after I had made a formal complaint against Lewisham police

and three days after I had represented myself in Court, following the malicious arrest by PC722 Chris Wren (link), and the trial was stopped half-way through the prosecution case and the District Judge ruled I had “No case to answer” due to “inconsistencies” in the police evidence (link)

had maliciously referred me to mental health services using the big fat lie about CCTV to claim they belived I was mentally ill and suffering delusions incidents were happening.

It is unacceptable that all these lies against me, which entirely wrongly and unfairly completely discredit me, remain all over official police records when there is ample evidence they are lies…

and when there is ample evidence of serious misconduct by Lewisham police officers.

 

Mtg Lies 1

Minutes of meeting proving the lie about CCTV evidence was still being told –

after Lewisham Council had admitted to the Local Government Ombudsman they had ‘lost’ it all (apart from footage of one incident which Lewisham Council themselves described as “poor quality” and “very poor quality”)

and after I had many times sought the help of Lewisham police re evidence repeatedly being ‘lost’…

that’s some determination to discredit me!

Of course, once the lies are ‘validated’ in the minutes of a joint police/Council meeting that document is on record and can be produced – and has been, by Lewisham police to the IPCC to discredit me and my complaint – as ‘factual evidence’ of the situation and their claimed oh so wonderful ‘working closely together’ efforts to ‘help’ me…

all the while I knew nothing about the meeting nor the minutes with all their lies, I only obtained a copy by chance in 2015

On 28/08/11 I received via the post a large folder from the Local Government Ombudsman containing photocopies of documents they had been sent by Lewisham Council re my complaint to the LGO…

including the documents in which Lewisham Council admitted ‘losing’ all the CCTV  and a summary re CCTV dated 29/06/11

bearing in mind I received the folder just two days after the meeting below, and given the time it would have taken for the LGO to photocopy all the documents and create the folder, then postal delivery time, and also the date of 29/06/11 on the summary re CCTV…

and also bearing in mind the dates of the emails between me and Lewisham police (as links below)…

it’s clear that both Lewisham Council and police knew the truth about the CCTV at the time of their meeting 26/08/11.

Yet here’s the relevant extract – see #4 – from page 1 of minutes of the meeting

(square redactions are as I received the document and the rounded are mine to remove my personal details)

I have numbered, on the left, the paragraphs to address the lies –

mtg260811mycrc

Starting with number 4

Their lie about the CCTV – still being told, in a minuted meeting, after Lewisham Council had admitted the truth to the Local Government Ombudsman…that CCTV hadn’t even been retrieved…

and after my extensive email communications with Lewisham police asking for their help re all the CCTV evidence being lost.

Let’s jump to page 2 of these minutes, #7 –

mtg260811myc2

NUMBER  7 – in fact CCTV had been continuously installed since 18 October 2010, so for ten months by the time of the meeting, either overt or covert cameras or both at the same time –

in all that time no footage of any incident had ever been successfully retrieved from the overt camera,

and footage for only one incident had been successfully retrieved from the covert camera but Lewisham Council themselves described that one piece of footage as “poor quality” and “very poor quality“.

As above, Lewisham Council had just admitted this to the Local Government Ombudsman and I had just had extensive email correspondence with Lewisham police asking for their help re all the ‘lost’ CCTV evidence –

so why isn’t the truth stated in the minutes?

NUMBER 8 – Lewisham Council did swap the existing camera…I think that was actually May/June…and, then, they knew there was a fault with the software…

yet no-one ever told me about that supposed fault despite during that time I was reporting incidents, they were retrieving the cartridge, and I then had to keep asking about the footage but they never let me know/answered me.

Proof re Lewisham Council and police knew full well about all the ‘lost’ CCTV on these links – proof they knew it wasn’t that the CCTV didn’t support my “allegations”, they knew full well the footage had not even been retrieved…

cctv lies1

cctv lies 2

cctv lies 3

Some of the other lies in those minutes –

number 1 – “minor criminal damage to her car”

“minor”??  I hadn’t been able to use my car for nine months because the repeated criminal damage had made it unroadworthy…

and Lewisham police, Lewisham Council and my MP had seen themselves the extent of the damage to my car when they had visited me during those nine months.

number 2 – incidents started in June 2009, I first began reporting them on 20/12/2009…by the time of the meeting 26/08/11 – ie 20 months later & around 60 incidents suffered/reported – still nothing had been done to protect me and my property…

due to Lewisham police and the Metropolitan police service thwarting my complaints with all their lies, Lewisham police just carried on lying and refusing to uphold the law to protect me and my property…

so incidents continued on and on, the last was April 2016…that’s all but seven years of harassment,

seven years of being targeted by a criminal family “well known to the police” and their equally scumbag associates they incited against me,

seven years  which has has a severely negative affect on my physical health and my life…

and because of all the lies and cover-ups by Lewisham police I am still having to try to get my complaints properly investigated, so it is still taking up my time and effort, to correct all their lies about me which are all over official police records.

In December 2012 the LGO finally produced their report of their investigation into my complaint against Lewisham Council, the LGO found Lewisham Council had caused meserious injustice“…

but they just carried on as before, continuing to lie and treat me appalling.

number 3 – “little evidence to establish any criminal offences”

Only because Lewisham police had refused to retrieve CCTV evidence, Lewisham Council had repeatedly ‘lost’ CCTV evidence and both had refused to speak to an independent witness when I was repeatedly threatened with violence/death…

besides which they could easily have dealt with the situation via ASB legislation with evidence from me and the several neighbours they knew were also suffering incidents, eg email to me from Lewisham police –

I have met with some of your neighbours some of whom have agreed to supply statements and have reported similar incidents…

Click here to see the email

As above, once lies are ‘validated’ in the minutes of a joint Lewisham police/Lewisham Council meeting that document is on record as if ‘factual evidence’ of the situation, and the document containing the lies is then produced to discredit someone critical of them.

 

LSNB DPA Breach

Really concerned at role of MOPAC’s Safer Neighbourhood Boards – how they are carrying out that role, whether they can be considered independent and holding local police to account on behalf of residents, and whether MOPAC is providing the training necessary to ensure SNBs – run by volunteers who kindly give their time and effort – comply with the law…

that is a whole new blogsite though, this is just to show – as someone asked me to – that Lewisham SNB breached the Data Protection Act (this was after I’d asked for their help re Lewisham police, and re their monitoring role) – below is the reply I received from the Information Commissioner’s Office…

what is particularly worrying is that i)  I had told Lewisham SNB several times they were in breach of the Data Protection Act but this was denied, and ii)  I also informed MOPAC but they effectively said it was nothing to do with them –

Referral Lies

This is to prove that Lewisham police knowingly and deliberately lied in a Referral to mental health services.

.

(See Overview for background summary.)

.
Having failed to secure a malicious conviction against me/have me sent to prison, Lewisham police then – as part of what I can only call their concerted campaign to discredit me to cover up their own misconduct – maliciously referred me to mental health services.

Lewisham police ‘justified’ Referring me by telling their big fat lie about the CCTV…

the same big fat lie that they had knowingly and deliberately told in a Witness Statement and Case Summary after they maliciously arrested me – ‘verballed’ me – on 02/09/11.

.
Following that malicious arrest I was charged and forced out of my home for two months on bail conditions imposed because of the lies Lewisham police were telling –

the trial was on 28/10/11, I represented myself at the Court and was mentally competent enough that proceedings were halted half-way through the prosecution case and the District Judge ruled I had “No case to answer” due to “inconsistencies” and “conflicting” police evidence.
.

So, Lewisham police had failed to secure a malicious conviction against me at Court on Friday 28/10/11…and made the Referral to mental health services on Monday 31/10/11

yet at no time when I had been arrested on 02/09/11 nor when at the police station custody nor when charged/bailed with conditions not to return to my home etc, had I been treated as a mentally ill/mentally vulnerable person –

.

ie treated as is required by PACE and Govt if police believe arrested person is mentally ill/vulnerable.  (I’ll post the details re this soon.)

.

This is the Referral – using the big fat lie – made by Lewisham police on 31/10/11 –

(there were other lies in the Referral but this is just to easily prove it was malicious, I continue to ask the Metropolitan Police Service to properly investigate my complaints including all the lies in the Referral)

.
wprefer2png

 

As above, I have previously posted the proof that Lewisham police were fully aware that it was not that CCTV didn’t support my reports of incidents, they knew that in fact CCTV had not even been retrieved

I’ve also previously posted the proof that PS Duncan Anderson, who made the above Referral on 31/10/11, had attended a meeting on 31/08/11 – ie two months prior to him making the Referral – the minutes for which clearly state that there had been a fault on the CCTV in my home

and PS Duncan Anderson himself had written those minutes!

.

So, as Lewisham police were fully aware CCTV hadn’t even been retrieved why would they lie about it in a Referral?

.

Why would they lie to ‘justify’ Referring me?

.

The only reasonable, only possible, conclusion is that the Referral was entirely malicious…

.

Lewisham police – having failed to discredit me via a malicious conviction – were now seeking to exploit the stigma of mental health to discredit me and cover-up their serious misconduct.

.

Lewisham police knowingly and deliberately lying in a Referral was not only a serious injustice and malice towards me, it was also an outrageous  and disgraceful abuse of the MH Referral process.

.

Further, bearing in mind the Referral was made on 31 October 2011

Lewisham police were also fully aware that my front window had been smashed around 22 September 2011– hardly a ‘delusion’…but they had to lie about that too, to keep covering-up the true situation and their failure to take appropriate action to protect me and my property.

.
I had made a formal complaint to the Metropolitan Police Service on 10 October 2011 re the failures of Lewisham police to protect me and my property, colluding with Lewisham Council to lie about the CCTV evidence (the big fat lie that both were telling), the malicious arrest, and saying the damage to my window was “wear and tear”…

.

I was told my complaint could not be investigated until after conclusion of the trial on 28/10/11 – I represented myself at Court and the outcome was “No case to answer” – so the Referral was made at the same time the investigation into my complaint began.

.

For the record –

PS Anderson claimed in the Referral dated 31/10/11 that I had been in contact with the SNT “for several years now” – well no, since 20 December 2009 so around eighteen months not “several years”…

.
and the only reason I had been in contact with them for eighteen months was because I was repeatedly targeted by NFH and their associates but Lewisham police refused to uphold the law, refused to take any action to protect me and my property –

.

which of course actively encouraged the perpetrators to continue their ASB/harassment/ hate, they were getting their sick, perverted pleasure out of it, why stop when they knew there were never any consequences for them.

.
By the time of the Referral I had suffered/reported around sixty incidents, but Lewisham police were lying about the situation and incidents

.
PS Anderson also stated in the Referral there was no record of me having been the victim of DV…but I still have a police document from a Data Protection Act request I’d made at the time…

so that’s yet another Lewisham police lie I can prove is a lie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

MG11 lies

This is to prove Lewisham police knowingly and deliberately lied in a Witness Statement.

For the record, I did not want to have to go to the bother of posting any of this here, I have tried and tried going through the proper channels – complaints and IPCC – but to no avail so this – proving on this blog how Lewisham police have lied and treated me in order to be able to counter those who have been covering-up my complaints – was the only option left to me.

Below is the first page of the two page MG11 dated 03/09/11 by PC722 PL Chris Wren of Lewisham Metropolitan Police Service…

PC722 had maliciously arrested me on 02/09/11 – he ‘verballed’ me – and his MG11 was for the purpose of the CPS prosecuting me (note he refers to me in the MG11 as “the defendant”)…

both pages of his MG11 are full of lies, including re the arrest, but my point here is just to easily prove he knowingly and deliberately lied about the situation as regards a repeat victim of ASB/harassment – and lied about evidence – in a Witness Statement

an extremely serious matter which to date the Metropolitan Police Service has covered-up…

I am again asking the Metropolitan Police Service to properly investigate my complaints including fully investigating my evidence and all of his lies.

So, here is that page of the MG11 and below that I explain the lies which deliberately misrepresent me and the true situation, deliberate lies which – along with all the other lies in the rest of his MG11, his Incident Book and Case Summary – can only have been to secure a malicious prosecution against me…to pervert the course of justice.

(I do not know why he has put his statement is 9 pages all signed by him, as I represented myself at court I was given the CPS Prosecution papers, his MG11 is two pages.)

mg11lies4

Let’s start with the despicable deliberate lie about the CCTV evidence…

3rd paragraph, 3rd & 4th sentences “Calls to Police and the council continued…CCTV…again failed to produce any evidence regarding her ongoing allegations”

This is the big fat lie both Lewisham police and their “partner” Lewisham Council – with whom they “were working closely together” – were telling to discredit me and cover-up their refusal to take appropriate action to protect me and my property.

Lewisham police were fully aware it was not that CCTV didn’t support my reports of incidents, they knew the truth was that CCTV had not even been retrieved

the only reasonable conclusion is that Lewisham police deliberately lied about it in a Witness Statement in order to completely misrepresent the true situation to secure a malicious prosecution – they were knowingly and deliberately seeking to pervert the course of justice.

Other deliberate lies to completely misrepresent me and the true situation…

2nd paragraph, 2nd sentence “all against the occupants of [gives an address]…”

This lie served the purpose of downplaying the true sitution – where a woman was being repeatedly targeted by a large group of associates – to a ‘neighbour dispute’ type situation –

it was NOT a ‘neighbour dispute’ there had NEVER been any  ‘dispute’.

Lots of documents prove PC722Pl Chris Wren knew full well not “all” my reports were against the NFH living in that address, many were regarding their relatives and numerous associates they had incited against me who lived elsewhere…

he states this lie again in the 3rd paragraph, although as he himself had, after a lot of pressure, eventually arranged the three harassment warnings he refers to, he was of course fully aware that two of these three did NOT live at that address.

3rd paragraph, 1st & 2nd sentences “Police went to great effort…nothing of any evidential value was ever noted”

Why is he telling this lie?  In fact, Lewisham police collected footage for only one incident, this could be easily proven by checking their records which should have been kept for Data Protection Act compliance, and much later I discovered they had lied about what the footage for that one incident showed, which could be checked against contemporaneous evidence I have – see link below

https://asblewishame.wordpress.com/2014/10/01/the-lies-of-lewisham-police-part-2/

 

I’ve given links below to the evidence Lewisham police knew the truth – so what they should truthfully and factually have said in the Witness Statement was –

‘we refused to collect CCTV evidence’,

‘Lewisham Council repeatedly ‘lost’ CCTV evidence and we refused her pleas for us to investigate why evidence was being repeatedly ‘lost’,

‘we refused to speak to a witness when she was threatened with violence/death’,

‘at a meeting on 31/08/11 we were told of a fault with the Council CCTV in her home’

From October 2010 up to the date PC722PL Wren wrote his MG11 (ie 03/09/11) Lewisham Council had retreived CCTV footage for only one incident I had reported and that footage they themselves described as “poor quality” and “very poor quality”…

see https://asblewishame.wordpress.com/2014/12/02/lies-of-lewisham-police-5/

I have previously posted the evidence proving PC722 was fully aware of this and had refused to help me when I sought his assistance re all the ‘lost’ CCTV evidence-

see https://asblewishame.wordpress.com/2015/03/11/lewisham-police-lied-re-cctv-1/

and https://asblewishame.wordpress.com/2015/05/29/lewisham-police-lied-re-cctv-2/

and https://asblewishame.wordpress.com/2015/07/11/lewisham-police-lied-re-cctv-3/

 

– and of course, there was the meeting on 31/08/11 – ie just two days before he maliciously arrested me – attended by Lewisham police including PC722PL Wren and PS Duncan Anderson, the minutes of which clearly state there was a fault with the Council CCTV which had affected the equipment in my home…see scan of the minutes on link below –

https://asblewishame.wordpress.com/2015/07/11/lewisham-police-lied-re-cctv-3/

.

(NB In the 3rd pargraph 5th sentence PC722 refers to Lewisham Council and their audio recording equipment, however, as noted in the Local Government Ombudsman’s report 06/12/12 Lewisham Council had destroyed that audio evidence without telling me and before there could be any independent scrutiny of what had actually been recorded, as the LGO said “This was wrong”.)

.

3rd paragraph, 6th sentence “but these were solely based on the repeated allegations of the defendant and have no supportive evidence”

Except there was lots of supportive evidence:

– he knew very well that Lewisham Council had ‘lost’ all the evidence there should have been…and he knew that I was reporting incidents and requesting the CCTV footage be retrieved in the belief it would be retrieved…that footage would have been supportive evidence…

– I had filmed one of them causing criminal damage to my car in October 2010, Lewisham police claimed the footage did not show them actually causing the damage but I believe it does, PC Wren had seen this footage – if the Metropolitan Police Service would properly investigate my complaints and actually look at my evidence (rather than ‘just believing’ those officers I complained about) I would be very pleased to show them this footage.

– I’ve previously posted re PC Wren having taken Witness Statements from four neighbours, these statements were taken in the lead up to the harassment warnings being given (16 December 2010), see point 3 on the link below, he clearly states

I have met with some of your neighbours some of whom have agreed to supply statements and have reported similar incidents…

https://asblewishame.wordpress.com/2014/10/13/more-lies-part-3/

xxxxxx,

Just a quick update. I have now collated enough to proceed with harassment warnings for the three discussed….

– PC Wren was also fully aware that from October 2010 to December 2010 – ie during the period leading up to the harassment warnings – I had reported several incidents in the knowledge that an overt Council CCTV camera was in place and in the belief that the footage would be retrieved, eg my email to him 12/12/10 –

To: ‘Chris.Wren@met.police.uk’ <Chris.Wren@met.police.uk>
Subject: RE: Harassment xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 071210

Thank you for the updates, I have a couple of queries:

I thought you were typing a statement for me to sign before issuing the warnings, would be grateful if you would advise me re this.

I see from your email you say your Inspector has spoken to Gary Connors, was this about the footage from the camera (which I thought you were going to speak to him about)?

I noticed the company who put up the camera were outside on Friday 10/12/10, presumably collecting the footage of all the incidents to pass to the Council – you might recall I asked about this footage being checked regarding the latest harassment incidents…have you been able to view the footage of the incidents yet?

It subsequently transpired that Lewisham Council had not retrieved the footage for any of the incidents during that period and PC Wren must, of course, have known that – see ‘Lewisham Council CCTV 18/10/10 – 20/12/10’ on the link below-

https://asblewishame.wordpress.com/2015/03/11/lewisham-police-lied-re-cctv-1/

3rd paragraph, final sentence “After this the allegations dried up…”

Another lie, see link below proving PC Wren was fully aware incidents were continuing and I was reporting them, and far from being “happy with the police action” I told him how “tiring, stressful and upsetting” it was not getting any answers from him –

https://asblewishame.wordpress.com/2015/05/29/lewisham-police-lied-re-cctv-2/

Bear in mind this is the same PC722 PL Chris Wren who eg refused to speak to the witness to an incident when I was repeatedly threatened with violence/death, and who ludicrously claimed that repeated criminal damage to my property and several threats of violence against me were “very low level ASB at best” – see

https://asblewishame.wordpress.com/2014/10/01/the-lies-of-lewisham-police-part-1/

.

The next post will be regarding Lewisham police’s malicious referral to mental health services – using the same big, fat lie about the CCTV as explained above to claim they believed I was mentally ill and suffering delusions incidents were happening…

the referral was made on 31/10/11 which was…

around six weeks after my front window was smashed (c 22/09/11)…

three weeks after I had made a complaint (10/10/11) about how Lewisham police had failed to protect me/my property  and the malicious arrest…

two days after the trial (28/10/11) at which I represented myself and proceeedings were stopped half-way through the prosecution case and it was ruled I had “No case to answer” due to “inconsistencies” in the police evidence…

not to mention that Lewisham police had, they subsequently claimed, been so very concerned my mental health was deteriorating that they waited two months before doing the referral…yes, they claimed they had believed I was mentally ill and suffering delusions incidents were happening several days before I was arrested by PC Wren…

Appropriate Adult anyone?

Lewisham police lied re CCTV -3

continued from https://asblewishame.wordpress.com/2015/05/29/lewisham-police-lied-re-cctv-2/

more of the evidence proving

i)   Lewisham police – and their ‘partner’ Lewisham Council, with whom they were “working closely together” – knowingly lied about the CCTV evidence, saying CCTV had been in place but didn’t support my ‘allegations’ when, as the evidence I’ve been posting indisputably proves, they knew very well that the footage hadn’t even been retrieved –

and

ii)  that Lewisham police used their same lie about the CCTV to maliciously refer me to mental health services

June 2011 – September 2011

on 03/06/11 Lewisham Council changed the covert CCTV in my home, they told me ASBAT had purchased new cameras – as usual despite my repeated requests I never had any feedback at all when I reported incidents and they collected the CCTV cartridge, this was extremely frustrating, typical of how they always treated me, and I repeatedly said to Lewisham police about it. For example, me asking Lewisham Council yet again –

22/08/11 around 3.50 pm…

Also, on 24/08/11 you (and Lisa Spall separately) told me when I asked if had seen the CCTV collected (for 25/07/11, 07/08/11 and 15/08/11), and I was told me no, not yet – I would very much appreciate if you would email to me the details when you have…

Minutes of Meeting 31/08/11

on 31/08/11 there was a police and Council meeting about my case, it wasn’t until some considerable time later – I think around a year – that I was given a copy of the minutes.

I have underlined Pc722 PL Chris Wren – who as previous posts prove already knew very well about all the ‘lost’ CCTV – it was PC722 who maliciously arrested me on 02/09/11 and then knowingly told the same lie about the CCTV in his prosecution MG11 and the Case Summary –

and PS15 PL Duncan Anderson who maliciously referred me to MH services on 31/10/11 using the same lie about the CCTV to falsely claim Lewisham police  believed I was, therefore, suffering delusions incidents were happening –

I have circled the paragraph proving both knew very well there had been a fault with the CCTV and the camera in my home had been malfunctioning

NB – I only knew of this fault/malfunction when I saw these minutes, neither Lewisham Council nor Lewisham police had told me at the time it was discovered there was a fault, despite I had been repeatedly asking about the footage that had been collected – again typical of the appalling way I was always treated.

wpmtg310811

So, this and previous posts indisputably prove Lewisham police were fully aware it was not that CCTV didn’t support my reports of incidents but that the footage hadn’t been retrieved –

next post will be the MG11 by PC722 PL Wren and malicious referral by PS15 PL Anderson in which they knowingly tell the CCTV lie – serious misconduct which Lewisham police and the Metropolitan Police Service has covered-up.

Lewisham police lied re CCTV -2

Continued from https://asblewishame.wordpress.com/2015/03/11/lewisham-police-lied-re-cctv-1/

Lewisham police and their partner Lewisham Council have both knowingly told the self-same lie about the CCTV evidence, saying CCTV had been in place but didn’t support my ‘allegations’ but both knew the footage hadn’t even been retrieved.

Their lie has been told to my MP, it was told in an MG11 and Case Summary to maliciously prosecute me, it was used to maliciously refer me to mental health services, it was even repeated to me by the IPCC in their letter refusing my complaint Appeal, and still in 2013 it was being repeated in Lewisham police records to discredit me –

so here is more proof that Lewisham police were deliberatly lying because they knew the footage hadn’t been retrieved – by this time, March 2011, over forty incidents had been suffered/reported –

2 1

There was a witness to this incident when I was repeatedly threatened with violence/death but Lewisham police kept delaying trying to speak to them and never actually did – and I have to put up with Lewisham police telling everyone there was no evidence.

Email below from PC722PL Wren, saying he’ll ask for the CCTV himself if Lewisham Council don’t reply to me…

2 2

Email below dated 20/03/11 is me asking PC 722PL Wren to meet with me re all the threats and harassment and to view the CCTV footage of several incidents including threats of violence on 02/3/11 and 04/03/11…

2 3

The meeting I requested in the above email never happened.

On 16/04/11 Pc722PL Wren told me he had viewed the CCTV but there were no incidents on the footage, this was shocking and I sent him the following email saying he cannot have viewed the footage for the several dates/times I had listed for him, that it was completely unacceptable, that this needed investigating and asking for his urgent advice on how to proceed…

2 4

On 17/04/11 Pc722PL Wren replied as below and I then spoke to him and asked him to tell me the dates/times on the CCTV he had watched, he said he didn’t know (!) and would ask Lewisham Council and then sent me the email below…

I didn’t know at the time but a few months later I discovered that Lewisham Council had replied to Pc722PL Wren on 27/04/11, telling him the footage he had watched was the only CCTV they had – and that wasn’t the only email between them, behind my back they were mocking me and I’ll post those emails another time…

Dear Pc Wren

He then claimed he hadn’t had a response from Lewisham Council – but he had, as above on 27/04/11 Lisa Spall had told him “this is the only CCTV we have“.

I  do feel one can reasonably expect a police officer to be concerned when CCTV evidence is repeately ‘lost’, particularly perhaps when the footage relates to incidents against a repeat victim since 2009 – but not PC722PL Wren, he chose to lie to me about it –

Sorry about delaying reply but I thought Id already replied.

So, after three months of repeatedly asking I still couldn’t get any answers from Pc722PL Wren or Lewisham Council – and this was how it always was, they were just stringing me along all the time – but I tried again…

Apologies there seems to be a slight miss communication. I have already emailed Lisa informing her that the disc was in the front office at PD ready for her collection. I did this after I viewed it some time ago. I emailed her again last week and hopefully she now has it. If its still in the safe Ill grab it and let you know.

I had to give up, I sent an email to PC722PL Wren telling him this –

Dear Pc Wren

Thank you for your email; I still to this day have not been advised of these details.

I have, therefore, had to give up – it is just too tiring, stressful and upsetting to keep trying but never getting the information despite all my repeated efforts since December 2010/January 2011 to ensure the footage of incidents I reported was obtained, and to try to find out whether or not this footage had been obtained.

Also, despite my repeated efforts to be informed of the dates and times of the footage you viewed on 12/04/11 – as our emails below – information which was needed to establish why, from what you told me, you had not viewed any of the incidents I reported and to try to obtain the correct footage.

PC722PL Wren’s response – concern a repeat victim felt like/had been treated like this? concern lots of CCTV evidence of incidents had been ‘lost’?  sorry he hadn’t bothered to note the dates/times of footage he’d viewed? prompted to take some action?

Nah…

You can (hopefully) see that every request re the CCTV I’ve forwarded to Lisa who is the owner of it…

I eventually gleaned that the footage he had viewed was the “poor quality”/”very poor quality” footage for 03/01/11…

and the footage for 01/01/11…

which was a date I had not reported any incident but Lewisham Council had inexplicably collected footage – see https://asblewishame.wordpress.com/2014/12/02/lies-of-lewisham-police-5/

and PC722PL Wren knew I hadn’t reported an incident on 01/01/11 because I’d listed dates of incidents for him in my email 20 March 2011 (as above).

As the previous posts and above prove, PC722PL Wren was fully aware he had seen only “poor quality”/”very poor quality” footage for one incident of all those I had reported during this time…

and he knew very well that all the other CCTV evidence had been ‘lost’…

yet he subsequently maliciously arrested me and to discredit me he deliberately lied in an MG11 and Case Summary about the evidence, telling the same lie as Lewisham Council that ‘CCTV had been installed but didn’t support her allegations’ although he was fully aware the CCTV footage hadn’t even been retrieved.

There are names for people who lie and deceive like PC722PL Wren – ‘policeman’ should NOT be one of them.
