Hi everyone. Just thought I’d pop back with the resolution of the police complaint...
‘No wrongdoing’.
Unfortunately my son ended up needing a third surgery. We were referred to another hospital that isn’t local to us and it turned out that a lot of the problems he was having were actually caused by the errors with his previous surgeries, so it’s been a lot to deal and come to terms with. Someone from the police rang my husband asking for me (I gave them my details with the complaints?!) on the day we were in hospital for the surgery. I got an email saying they can’t get in touch with me but having just started back at work on top of all this, I forgot about it pretty quickly. But, this was over a month ago and I received a letter this weekend stating my failure to engage means the case is closed, which is fair enough. I was over it, I was happy with the resolution with the council etc. Then I saw his report...
The cheeky fuckers had put in a complaint against us saying we were harassing them!!!! Apparently we were making written threats, making false reports to the police and banging their door down constantly. Which is hilarious but kind of contradicts his claims to the council that he had no idea this was going on...
It says that the assault on my husband was filed as there was ‘no complaint’ and that both parties were advised. Nobody ever got in touch with us about that, of course we had a complaint against that.
They admitted that the police officer that came out that we named in the complaint did know the prick that caused all of this but denies that his manner was dismissive and sarcastic. I mean, he told us that he was only here about a parking complaint when we were telling him about the problems we were having and asked us why we park on our drive if we can get blocked in... that’s reasonable apparently.
It was all just passed off as a parking complaint, no mention at all of their harassment, threats and using his job title to intimidate us and how they’ve passed it off for mediation now.
I don’t know why I’m surprised that they continue to protect their own and that this prick knows exactly how to play the system.
I spent far too long on Saturday putting together a response to let him know that his officer was threatened with legal action filling council investigations and collation of evidence, pointing out the errors in his report and declining mediation but I’ve spent the rest of the time anxious as fuck that I should have just left it.
