One wonders what Avon and Somerset are up to? First they do nothing (or have done nothing thus far) over Bristow’s racist jokes. (Perhaps he should have written about the Le Vell case?) CC Nick Gargan (who refused to reply when asked about transparency of DNA sample deletions) is sitting on the fence over Bristowgate so hard he will get splinters in his backside.
Now to the Metroplitan Police and news that DCI Chris Jarratt may be soon packed off to jail. He will sing and implicate other lower ranks to get a shorter sentence and not spend the rest of his life on segregation. Prison can be harsh for ex police. They aren’t popular.

I heard this too this week about the corrupt DCI Chris Jarratt. Is it true? Unfortunately for the past 10 years he has been Mr Teflon despite all the crime he has committed (as published in the book The Untouchables). Has he really been arrested?
Dear Olivia, a reliable source stated that Jarratt is now a liability for plod. Quite a few of his former colleagues are quaking at the thought that he will verbal them. Keeps eyes peeled for further developments.
Thing is he has been a liability for ages. It’s well documented that he bullied his staff. The IPCC was also investigating him for lying to a judge. So what did they do? Promote him. Then when he was found out as being incompetent in the taxi rapist case, they moved him sideways. This man deserves all that’s coming to him.
I think he needs to implicate the HIGHER ranks to get a shorter sentence. They must be quaking in their retired boots.
Yes Jarratt’s bullying is well documented. IPCC are not terribly efficient but surely perjury is more than a “minor matter”? As for Warboys case as you rightly say his head must roll.
You say “IPCC are not terribly efficient” – two of Jarratt’s mates from the Anti-Corruption Squad now have senior positions at the IPCC.
Do you know which two? Could be helpful;)
Simon Cousins and Chris Mahaffey are both senior investigators at the IPCC and went to work there after they left the Anti-Corruption Squad / Directorate of Professional Standards where Chris Jarratt was.
Cousins, Mahaffey and Jarratt are all mentioned in The Untouchables book
As is ex P.C (D.C for 5 mins) Derek Haslam. You may be interested in my latest post;)
Chris Jarratt recruited Derek Haslam (Joe Poulton) as an informant and continued to be handler throughout all Haslam’s crimes.
Not forgetting the role played by Supt Dave Wood;)
The same Dave Woods who took over the Northern Ireland RUC inquiry with all his mates, Martin Bridger and Adrian Harper (the very officer who admitted falsifying his diary and got let off.)
I meant ‘his handler’.
