The IOPC has today upheld an appeal against Lancashire police for failing to make a mandatory referral for allegations of ‘serious corruption‘.
They would 100% know they should make the mandatory referral but chose to keep it ‘in-house’, therefore abusing the complaints process.
The complaint was that DC Karen Harrison of Lancashire police provided a statement for the Chief Constable making false accusations that have been proven to be false.
In fact, the false accusations were reported to the police by me, the police refused to even record the criminal allegations and said that the perjured evidence will be tested in court!
DC Harrison wrote her statement on a police MG11 form (police evidence form). She signed and dated it, declaring it was her statement of truth.
Buried within her MG11 statement of truth, she referred to it being a ‘Victim Personal Statement’ (VPS).
A VPS must not be submitted as ‘evidence’ yet this was submitted as evidence by the Chief Constable and contained several evidential exhibits.
So, considering all of the facts, was this an MG11 Evidence statement of truth?
- It was on an MG11 form
- was signed as a statement for truth
- had submission of exhibits
- Was adopted in court as her evidence in chief
or, was it only a VPS?
- Should not be signed as a statement of truth
- should not contain exhibits
- should not be declared as ‘evidence’.
If it was a VPS, it should never have been submitted as evidence and DC Karen Harrison should never have been allowed to give live evidence without a correctly served witness statement to be cross-examined over. Instead, she claims she didn’t submit a witness statement, yet adopted it as her evidence as was cross-examined over it.
That really does not matter for the purpose of Perjury, as, the Perjury Act 1911 clearly states;
If any person lawfully sworn as a witness or as an interpreter in a judicial proceeding wilfully makes a statement material in that proceeding, which he knows to be false or does not believe to be true, he shall be guilty of perjury, and shall, on conviction thereof on indictment, be liable to penal servitude for a term not exceeding seven years, or to imprisonment . . . for a term not exceeding two years, or to a fine or to both such penal servitude or imprisonment and fine.
Nothing within the Perjury Act 1911 defines a VPS as being exempt from the Act. You cannot lie in a VPS and hope to get away with it.
DC Harrison claimed Paul Ponting stalked her (and others). That is a statement of criminality. He has never stalked her or anyone, He has never been charged with a stalking offence never mind convicted of one! He has no criminal record and saying he stalked her (and others) implies that he has committed a serious criminal offence.
This is a LIE, Paul Ponting has no criminal record, nor has ever stalked her or others.
This appears to be a big game by the police and the IOPC dancing around the evidence.
DC Karen Harrison has lied in a statement of truth, that is a fact. This was with her knowledge as she is (or would be) aware Mr Ponting does not have a criminal record.
The Chief Constable at the time, Andy Rhodes was alerted to the perjured statement by DC Karen Harrison and he chose not to even investigate, instead, he said the (perjured) evidence must be ‘tested‘ in the Civil Proceedings.
How very wrong, the Chief Constable knows perjured evidence must never even be presented in court, never mind ‘tested.
It was in his evidence bundle and he clearly said that his evidence (perjured or otherwise) must be tested in Court.

As an ex-police officer, you should be able to write a statement in MG11 format with exhibits, highlighting your case. If you provide that to us we will consider publication.
