By Ashley Young-
Essex police wrongly directed the discrimination complaint of a black man to the police and fire commissioner, when it should have gone to the I.O.P.C.
The Independent Police Commission(IOPC) contacted the man whose identity is being withheld, just before christmas, informing him of the careless error, which the man believes was deliberate to buy time and frustrate his complaints.

His complaint was made to the police professional standards at the beginning of the year, nearly a year later, it has been discovered it was pushed to the wrong place.
The man, who claims to have suffered from mental health issues as a result of the mistreatment, has accused high ranking members of the force of racial discrimination and mistreatment, after ignored his complaints of discriminatory treatment by an alcoholic whom he has accused of uttering racial slurs against him.
The mail from the IOPC read: ”this email is about your application for review against Essex Police, which they forwarded on 30 November 2021.

Cover Up
High ranking members of Essex Police, from sergeants down to PC’s, are all included in the complaint, many of them having contradicted themselves. They are also accused of covering up the failings of their colleagues by simply reading off the script of what to say.
The force confirmed the re-opening of an investigation into allegations of theft by two social workers supported by estate agents, appointmoore after the man’s property was not returned to him a year after he was deprived of them.
Property manager, Lauren Finch, was allegedly at the heart of the whole problem, arrogantly flexing her muscles and calling police to the property several times to check on alcoholic tenant who couldn’t stand her, and called her every name under the sun.
She is believed to be at the heart of the entire vendetta that has led to the black man being deprived of several of his expensive belongings.

The items are believed to have been stolen by either the estate agent or social workers as part of a vendetta against him. They include designer clothes, and personal documents.
At the time Essex police said theft could not be proven unless he could show the property was dishonestly appropriated from him, with the intention of permanently depriving him of the belongings.
However, officers from Essex police who had told him it was not a civil matter, contradicted themselves by sending a police officer to the scene to prevent the man from entering the property to collect his belongings.
He was eventually given a small amount of his belongings in August 2019, then another amount of his belongings in May 2020, but he has still not received all his belongings.
The man claims Essex police acted in support of Estate Agents Appointmoore in Leigh On Sea, who had rented out a property with a defective washing machine and shower for over 9 months- almost the entire duration of the tenant’s stay- after collecting a two year advance payment without the usual credit approval, despite failing credit checks.
The man originally reported the case to the Essex police Crime bureau, and spoke with PC Smith, who suggested the man was allowed to identify his belongings which were in a room at the property where he stayed, put them aside, and photograph them for the tenant in hospital to verify.
The honourable idea was dashed by police officers who have been accused of discrimination and lack of lack of integrity, including PC Butcher, who assured the man that arrangements will be made for any missing belongings of his discovered to be passed to him, and if that did not happen, he should email the estate agents, who would contact one of the social workers present, Ms Lee, to give them to him.
PC Butcher then advised the man to report the matter to police as a theft, only to ignore all future correspondence from the man.

Other high ranking officers were appointed to the case, and are all accused of being complicit in discriminatory deceptive behaviour. Central to the complaint is PC Butcher, then Inspector J.Howell, (accused of dishonourable conduct in the investigative stage) and PC Dunn, who initially took the complaint at the crime bureau, but is also accused of not doing enough to solve the problem.
