Coverups & copouts

by Lewis, Tom detective sergeant

Tom Lewis spills the beans – “Cover ups and Cop outs” Buy this if you can, its a good read and very interesting “New Zealand police officers are not used to public scrutiny and , in fact, resent it.To be fair to them,however,neither are politicians, the judiciary , the legal profession or public servants. As New Zealand police have made a ‘art form’ out of writing off complaints over the years , the Police Complaints Authority is a toothless tiger . Standing up for your rights is never easy, it may risk losing your job or being threatened , it can cause family turmoil. Almost always it results in emotional upset. However anyone who has felt stuck or trapped in a corrupt system knows the sweet rewards of exercising PERSONAL POWER.”
