Police have things wrong but won’t change them

This is about a friend who is going through the most horrendous divorce from a financially abusive violent man.

This has been going on for some time. Nearly 3 years.

I don’t want to drip feed but I need to give you the full picture for those who haven’t read my previous posts.

She has an injunction out on the man who has broken the order many times without any recourse from the police.

She calls them out when he has contacted her or to remove him from her garden.

But they never come out at the time.

This injunction has been broken so many times that the latest judge has said she won’t renew it as there is little point as he takes no notice of the injunction anyway and the police are not interested.

The divorce and injunctions started when he attacked her one night and it was so bad the neighbours called the police and he was escorted from the property.

She got an emergency injunction and found a lawyer that would wait till she was divorced before billing her.

Ex took absolutely no notice of the injunction and the police took absolutely no notice of her reports.

He kept sending her texts saying he still loved her and how sorry he was and how broken he was not seeing her.

He really did a number on her.

And she said she would take him back. (She knows she was stupid but her mind was in shock at what had happened and really did believe him when he said he wanted them to be a proper family)
She has said that if the police had come out just once she would never have agreed to have him back. She wouldn’t have felt so alone

He didn’t move back in but she met him a couple of times and he sent her lovey dovey messages.

Then something set him off and he attacked her again.

She explained to her solicitor what had happened and was advised that she send him a message that he was not to contact her again.

He continued and still continues to contact her or pass messages through the children.

She hasn’t contacted him since that day.

Now the problem.

She has just found out that the police have done a report that says specifically that after she sent the message to ex to not contact her again she continued to contact him.

This is false.

The CPS was given this document when she tried to have him arrested for contacting her. They said he didn’t have a case to answer.

She has tried to get this document put right but as the case was closed after the CPS refused to prosecute they said it has to remain on her file.

Everyone from judges to lawyers agree he has broken the order multiple times but the police don’t do anything. No one does anything

Everyone agrees that his income (cash business) does not match his outgoings by a long chalk but no one questions him

Even stranger there are no calls logged from her at the police station even when she has had a visit from the police the following day.

There are a few weird anomalies that always seem to go in his favour

I am not one for conspiracy theories but her ex has close connections with a lot of the people who work at the police station.

Is there anyway of getting this file amended and given to the CPS at this stage.

She is beside herself. It has dragged on for so long.

She can do a freedom of information act and she can contact the police complaints commission if her ex does have an inside man it will be logged who has accessed the file and when

That is interesting.

She got this file from a FOI letter.

Citizens advice wanted to know themselves what was going on
