More than £50,000 was paid in just two years to former chief constable
Med Hughes, who ran the force between 2004 and 2011.
But South Yorkshire Police have refused to reveal what bonuses were paid
between 2002 and 2008 on the grounds it would be too ‘time-consuming’ to
retrieve the information. [ They lie the way they breathe - Editor

A response to a Freedom of Information request by The Star said prior to
2009/10 there was no obligation to provide information on senior officers’
bonus payments, making it difficult to ‘locate, retrieve and extract’
details of the payments.....
South Yorkshire Police were criticised earlier this year by Home
Secretary Theresa May, who said in the early 2000s the force was ‘allegedly
so intent on meeting Home Office targets about car theft and burglary that
it ignored hundreds of young girls being abused in
Rotherham and Sheffield’.
South Yorkshire Police Cutting 850 Jobs [

SOUTH Yorkshire Police is set to slash almost 850 staff over the next four
years. The cuts, which would see the number of support staff falling from
1,733 to 1,001, are outlined in the county’s policing plan, which also
reveals public confidence in the police has fallen in Rotherham over the
past year.

South Yorkshire Police are the mob

South Yorkshire Police Chief Suspended After Hillsborough Lies Regurgitated

The Chief

1989.

'had been left with no choice.. following the run-up to and delivery of the

This week, the cops
and robbers narrative was turned on its head. The line
between good and bad was blurred. The findings of the
Hillsborough inquest were chilling enough even before
taking into account the
suspension of South Yorkshire’s police chief for
continuing – 27 excruciating years later – to perpetuate the
myth that Liverpool fans were somehow to blame for the
deaths of 96 of their fellow supporters. The findings were
chilling enough even before we found out that
Chief Constable David Crompton had used millions of
pounds of public money to pay lawyers to maintain a version
of events during the inquest. They were chilling enough
before we learnt that a message on a website for South
Yorkshire’s retired officers told them to be “proud” of the
work they did that day..........
This is a dereliction
of duty so heinous that on Wednesday, it even managed to
unite political parties in the Commons.
Theresa May
and her Labour counterpart, Andy Burnham,
displayed a dignity and decency that, for once, could make
Parliament proud. The MP Frank Field said that though
trustworthy institutions had been damaged by the events of
that terrible day, “one institution shines through
gloriously –
the family”. And then we
remembered that the families who lost people that day
were
compensated for around £3,500, while officers who
claimed for the trauma of Hillsborough were given, on
average, £93,000..........
South Yorkshire Police Used Perjury To Pervert The Course Of Justice
[ 15 May 2016 ]
South Yorkshire Police carry on
business as usual. Yorkshire has the best police that money can buy.
Putting a man in prison for ten weeks is
False Imprisonment
achieved by Unlawful Arrest. The pigs will
probably allege that they didn't do it by Perjury.
Lying is just too easy. Their victim should sue. The police don't care; it
is only tax payers' money. Keeping themselves out of prison does matter to
them. PS They did a 27 year cover up on the
Hillsborough Disaster. The Shadow Home Secretary Andy Burnham described them as being 'rotten to the
core'. Will they get sorted out? Not a chance.

QUOTE
For the second time in just over a month, two days spent in the austere
halls of Royal Courts of Justice gave further, and, at times,
quite remarkable, insight into the inner workings of five different policing
bodies: The Police Federation, a police force Misconduct Panel, Her
Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary, a Police and Crime Commissioner’s
(PCC’s) office and the Chief Police Officers Staff Association (CPOSA).
The two cases are both pathfinding judicial review claims, and the issues
that fell to be determined by senior judges will have far reaching
implications for both the police service and the wider public. One hearing
was very much low key, the other attracted wide media coverage due, in the
main, to the presence in court of three high profile policing figures,
almost obsessive references to an even higher profile MP (Andy
Burnham) and the backdrop of the scandal surrounding the
Hillsborough Disaster cover-up by South Yorkshire Police.
Andy Burnham seen arriving at Birchwood Park, Warrington to hear
evidence at the new Hillsborough inquests. Alongside is Steve Rotheram
MP who has also campaigned tirelessly for bereaved families and
survivors.
The first claim, heard on 8th February, 2017, before Mrs Justice
McGowan, was listed as Thames Valley Police -v- Police
Misconduct Panel (CO/2810/2016). The substantive issue was the
challenge by the chief constable of that force to a finding of the Panel at
the conclusion of a gross misconduct hearing. It was submitted on the
chief’s behalf, via his counsel, Stephen Morley, that the
Panel had got the decision ‘badly wrong‘.
The Panel’s finding was that the officer, PC White (named as an
Interested Party in the proceedings), facing a breach of order and
instructions charge, and multiple neglect of duty charges, should receive a
final written warning. The charges against PC White concerned various items
of property, to the combined value of £10,000, that he had kept and not
actioned on police databases, in one case impacting adversely on a
prosecution case. Other evidential materials were also found in his locker,
and bag, during a subsequent search, that were not booked in, either.
The chief constable contended that the officer should have been dismissed
as a result of ‘integrity failings‘, and the fact that ‘he knew
he had done wrong’ and failed to correct his actions. It is the first
time since police regulations were changed in 2015 – which affected the
composition of Panels amongst other innovations – that such a challenge
against a Panel finding has been mounted.
The Misconduct Panel, through its lawyer chairman, declined to take any
part in the judicial review proceedings on the grounds that the claim form
was improperly served and, in effect, the legal action was a nullity. The
defence of the chief constable’s claim was taken up by the Police
Federation, on behalf of their member officer, PC White. They were
represented by the formidable Alexandra Felix, a specialist
criminal and regulatory barrister. Her submissions, made
with some force, could be summarised thus:
(i) Dealing with police misconduct matters,
including criminal offences,
is a management function. ‘It is about learning and development,
not punishment’. In
this sense, it is set apart from other professional bodies or services.
(ii) Discipline is an operational matter and the chief constable picks
the Panel – ‘it’s his Panel‘ and ‘part of the internal process‘.
As such, the chief constable did not have the legal capacity to bring these
judicial review proceedings.
(iii) The filing and service of the proceedings, in their present form,
was a ‘procedural failure’. Civil Procedure Rule 57.4 had not been
complied with. As such, the proceedings should be struck out.
There was extended discussion and argument, in which the judge took full
part, concerning the meaning of ‘integrity’ and where it falls, in a police
misconduct sense, in relation to ‘honesty’. Both, of course, being
fundamental requirements of being a police officer under the College of
Policing’s Code of Ethics.
Judgment was reserved, pending further written submissions being made by
all parties to the claim. It is awaited, with considerable interest, and is
likely to become a cited authority whichever way the judge finds.
It was accepted by both counsel present in court that her findings would
have far reaching consequences on police misconduct matters, and the role of
disciplinary panels within it. Other than the judge, her clerk, three
lawyers and the Police Federation representative, I was the only other
person present in Court 5 for what had been a fascinating, and highly
informative, hearing. Not least, the public airing of the proposition that
the powerful, and extremely wealthy, Federation had an almost unshakeable
grip on police misconduct matters, concerning all ranks between constable
and chief inspector, and the consequent fate of their members accused of
either serious misconduct, or criminal offences. If the Fed takes up an
officer’s cause, removal from the police service is nigh impossible. But, if
the rank and file ‘union’ withdraws support, then the officer concerned is,
almost inevitably, cast to the dogs.
To those not so familar with the labyrynthine processes of the police
misconduct regulations, it is worth pointing out that it is
not within a chief
constable’s very considerable powers to simply dismiss a police officer .
All the necessary steps, within the statutory framework, have to be
followed. Whether he (or she) agrees, or not.
The second judicial review application, a much higher profile case and
played out before a packed Court 3, has already been the subject of two
articles on this website [1]
‘Bad on their merits‘ (preview of the hearing based on disclosed
pleadings) and [2]
‘Much ado about nothing’ (a report of proceedings in David
Crompton -v- Police and Crime Commissioner for South Yorkshire).
This article focuses on the specific roles of the South Yorkshire PCC,
Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary (HMCIC) and the Chief Police
Officers’ Staff Association (CPOSA) in those proceedings, heard before
Lady Justice Sharp and Mr Justice Garnham,
and their approach to both evidential and misconduct matters.
The Chief Inspector, Sir Thomas Winsor, is one of the
key links the joins the two cases, as he was a member of the Misconduct
Panel that found ACC Rebekah Sutcliffe guilty of gross
misconduct in the controversial ‘Boobgate‘ scandal, but deemed that
a final written warning was the appropriate sanction. Most observers,
including her own chief constable, felt she should have been dismissed from
Greater Manchester Police. ACC Sutcliffe has been sent out on secondment to
Oldham Borough Council and is unlikely to undertake an operational policing
role again.
PCC Alan Billings was, of course, listed as defendant in
the case and present in court throughout the hearing, alongside his chief
executive, Michelle Buttery, and Communications Manager,
Fiona Topliss. it was argued, on his behalf, before the
court, that he had followed misconduct procedure (in this case Section 38 of
the Police Reform and Social Responsibilty Act, 2011) to the letter. Albeit,
ignoring the advice of HMCIC along the way (as he was lawfully entitled to
do).
The court also heard that two press releases, issued
after the Hillsborough inquest jury determinations, were
not the catalyst for former
chief constable’s suspension (the main limb of Crompton’s claim). But,
rather, the straw that broke the camel’s back. There are many, including me,
who believe Dr Billings, accepted on all hands as a decent, honourable man,
should have stepped in sooner.
Since he was elected in October, 2013 there must have been deep concerns
about the constant adverse publicity that Crompton brought to his force over
such as his notably poor handling of the Rotherham abuse scandal, and the
infamous Cliff Richard/BBC farrago, over which the pop star is now claiming
in excess of £1 million damages [3].
For example, the embattled police chief suffered a series of severe maulings
at the hands of the all-party Home Affairs Select Committee (see the 3rd
September, 2014 session below, courtesy of The Needle Blog).
The chairman of that committee concluded, after hearing the evidence by
David Crompton, that it was incompetence on a grand scale on the part of
South Yorkshire Police.
The appearance of CPOSA in the Crompton claim comes by way of legal costs
support for the former SYP chief constable. To the independent-minded
observer this is a huge investment for, potentially, very little return. The
claim was brought on the premise that if a decision to, firstly, suspend the
disgraced chief constable then, ultimately, force his resignation, was
quashed, it would ‘restore his damaged reputation‘. Which relies
entirely on the premise that David Crompton’s reputation was not irreparably
destroyed BEFORE he was suspended. On any reasonable view, it was in
tatters, and ‘Disaster Dave‘ as he was dubbed in the national press
in 2014, had, indisputably, been under constant media (and Parliamentary)
attack from his very first week in office in April, 2012.
Very few people are aware that, at the time of his appointment to head up
South Yorkshire Police, David Crompton was under investigation by the IPCC,
who were managing an investigation by one of his former forces, Greater
Manchester Police (GMP), into misconduct and racism allegations made by
former West Yorkshire Police Legal Services Director, Ajaz Hussain.
Crompton, as far as I can trace, has never spoken publicly about this. The
officer investigating the Hussain complaints, David Whatton,
had been a GMP senior officer colleague of Crompton’s between 2002 and 2004.
Whatton, on any reasonable view a perverse choice of investigating officer,
ultimately cleared Crompton of wrongdoing.
The proposition, therefore, appears to be that CPOSA will rally round a
chief officer, however incompetent and discredited he (or she) appears to
be. Given that it is an organisation that has, over the years received an
extraordinary, and controversial, amount of public funding [3a]
then such unconditional support is very troubling indeed.
Chief constables, and their deputies and assistants, are expected to set
the highest possible standards and, to the man (or woman on the Clapham
omnibus, it would seem entirely improper that they should they provide
mutual aid to those that don’t cut the mustard. In this context, it was a
suprise to me, at least, that a former chief constable I hold in high
regard, Neil Rhodes, was alongside David Crompton for
almost all of the two day hearing. In a curious twist of fate, Rhodes was
also CPOSA friend to Hussain which had led to another high profile court
drama in 2013 [3b].
Tom Winsor is, plainly, a busy man. He did, however, find time to spend
the entire two days of the Crompton claim in court, following proceedings
assiduously – as one would expect of a successful, and highly experienced,
regulatory lawyer. Indeed, as claim and counter-thrust was made in
submissions, by counsel for the various represented parties, it became clear
that the Crompton case was not about the former SYP chief, at all. It was
brought as a means for policing bodies to continue to police themselves, as
they have done for almost two centuries. Sir Thomas is the cuckoo in the
nest – and he is not at all content to eat scraps from any elected
official’s table. Particularly, one who may be minded to remove a chief
constable against his specific advice which, it was advanced on behalf,
should be regarded as akin to statutory guidance. His criticism of the
decision making, and capacity, of Dr Billings, the PCC in question, pulled
no punches.
But is Sir Thomas, himself, above criticism in this matter? Definitely
not, on the basis of submissions made to the court on his behalf: There are
four key issues that invite scrutiny:
Sir Thomas Winsor, who took over as Chief Inspector in September, 2012
had previously made his name as a highly regarded lawyer and reforming
rail regulator
(i) His HMIC inspection of South Yorkshire Police in June 2015 rated the
force as ‘good’. A peer review in May 2016, managed by the College of
Policing and the interim chief constable, Dave Jones, and
involving a number of experts in their specialist fields, found serious
failings in the management and operational effectiveness of the force [4].
The disparity between HMIC’s findings and the peer review is, so far,
unexplained. It was not directly tested in court, although it formed part of
the written submissions made on behalf of the PCC. In another curious turn
of events, just two weeks after the court hearing concluded another HMIC
inspection saw SYP heavily criticised.
(ii) It was asserted, without any evidence, supporting information or
details of source, that public confidence was NOT adversely affected by
David Crompton’s running of the police force in South Yorkshire. Contrast
that with ample, and highly informed, feedback from a large number of
elected representatives (MP’s, MEP’s and councillors) in the locality, and
the public who interacted either with DrBillings personally, or via his
office. Plus an almost weekly round of stinging media criticism of the
force, and one might take the view Dr Billings was in a much better position
to take a stance on this issue. Indeed, it was his emphatic view that
confidence in his chief constable had almost ebbed away when the decision
was taken to suspend him. Even the Home Secretary of the day,
Theresa May, knew the game was up for Crompton and South Yorkshire
Police. It was, therefore, nothing short of astonishing that, from his
London office, Sir Thomas could deem otherwise. A fair-minded observer might
take the view that his motivation for doing so ought to be examined
independently.
(iii) The proposition was advanced, on his behalf, that Sir Thomas had a
‘bird’s eye view‘ of the performance of police forces and,
therefore, by default, chief constables. There seemed no good reason to
single out Crompton for opprobium. Which, given the beleagured South
Yorkshire chief’s well chronicled list of failings, turns attention to how
bad some of the other chief constables must be, if Crompton is not ranked
below them. It may also explain why so many chief officers have left the
police service, in disgrace, over the past five years. Often retiring to
avoid disciplinary sanction.
(iv) Much was made in court of the fact that Crompton had broadcast an
apology, on behalf of his disgraced force on 12th September, 2012, the day
of the publication of the Hillsborough Independent Panel Report. Reinforced,
it was said by another apology on the day of the jury determinations at the
new inquests. It was claimed, in court, on behalf of both Crompton and HMCIC
that he had not resiled from those apologies. That was, quite simply,
incorrect. Crompton’s true feelings and views about the Hillsborough
Disaster – and the role of the Liverpool fans in it – were exposed in the
national press following disclosure of emails sent both internally to other
South Yorkshire Police officers and, externally, to other senior policing
figures, notably Sir Norman Bettison and Sir Hugh
Orde. Crompton challenged the Panel Report as one sided, and wanted
to set up a PR offensive to counteract the bereaved families fight for
truth, then justice [5].
Sir Thomas Winsor, and his his legal team, were silent on this point. Did he
not know, or was it just another Crompton flaw that he was, conveniently,
prepared to overlook?
The sum of all these parts is that HMIC, and their Chief Inspector, are
not all they crack up to be. Others have raised well evidenced doubts
concerning the police force inspections they carry out and, particularly,
their lack of rigour. But that is not the chief concern: As a watchdog, with
a crucial role in maintaining confidence in those charged with the public’s
safety and security, how can Sir Thomas sit there, stony faced, and allow
unevidenced assertions, and in some parts, what may be considered as
untruths, about the policing abilities of, and the public confidence in,
David Crompton to be presented as fact?
Another unspoken factor may have been the career record of Sir
Dan Crompton, David’s father, which ended with service as a leading
light in none other than Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary.
Crompton senior’s own adverse views on Hillsborough, and those bereaved
families campaigning for justice, are also well known and for which he has
steadfastly refused to apologise since they were first made public in 2013 [5].
Running a protectorate for the incompetent is, presumably, not what Her
Majesty the Queen would have had in mind when she touched Tom
Winsor’s shoulder with her sword in September, 2013. The revelations on the
Strand, on two sunny days at the end of March, 2017, may yet be scrutinised,
a short distance away along London’s riverside, before an MP’s Select
Committee.
