This is a disturbing story of the arrest of a shy, innocent, hard-working, single mother also a highly respected Bradford community worker that provides another stark signal of a police Professional Standards Department completely out of control.
Iris Gabriels crime was simply exercising her legal right in not providing a statement to officers from West Yorkshire Polices PSD who harassed, threatened and bullied her, at her place of work, over a period of nine months. This led to Iriss solicitors making a written complaint to the CPS regarding the way in which officers were behaving towards her. They specifically set out that any approach to Iris by the police should have been through them. The reality is, there was nothing for her to tell the police as proved later in open court. The formal complaint following Iriss unlawful arrest was made in August 2010 to West Yorkshire Police and the IPCC. It alleged prima facie criminal behaviour by officers from the Professional Standards Department. Almost two years later in June 2011, and completely out of the blue, Iris received a letter from DCI Osman Khan at WYP informing her that that her complaint had been investigated by South Yorkshire Polices C/Supt Robert Varey. Through very reliable sources uPSD already knew that Bob Varey had retired in December 2011 and been replaced by DC/Supt Neil Jessop. No explanation has been forthcoming from WYP or the West Yorkshire Police Authority to explain away the unacceptable delay. WYPAs Julie Reid wrote to Iris to say: We have been reassured that the force took all reasonable steps to inform you of the decision as soon as it was able. Now, just exactly what does that mean, Julie, after an investigation lasting almost two years? It would be better to not write at all rather than insult members of the public with that type of tosh. uPSD regular DCI Osman Khan didnt even trouble himself with the courtesy of replying. No surprise there, then, and Julie Reid omits to mention that in her email. What is now readily apparent is that the investigation broke every rule in the IPCC book and some that arent even in there. Starting with the fact that neither Iris nor her solicitors were even aware that an investigation was taking place, or that it had been referred to another police force. No victim statement was taken from her at any stage, which should have been uPSD regular the starting point. DCI Osman Khan Most astonishingly of all, the investigation outcome signed off by DCI Khan, flies completely in the face of statements made by Circuit Judge, HH Judge Peter Benson at the trial of her friends Shamim Khan and Kash Ahmed. Both of whom, incidentally, were fully exonerated. Iris was, of course, never charged at all with any offence. Yes, I have to say, I was somewhat troubled by D/Supt Bennetts justification of that. They went to Mrs Gabriel three times previously saying, Will you be a witness? and when she said NO for the third time they said: All right, were going to arrest you then. Either she was suspected of being complicit in it or not, and the fact that she exercised her right not to give a statement does not add, should not of itself add, to any grounds of suspicion, if none existed and before that they were complicit. Judge Benson then added An objective observer might consider that it (the
suspicion right from the outset was that there were more. There is now at least a shared understanding of both the chronology and the potential scope of the criminality which will assist Leicestershire Police in their enquiries. This was always going to be much more widespread than just the one case. The thoroughly dishonest behaviour of the PSD officers covering up the original software incident always implied to uPSD that the police were fending off something much, much bigger. As with much of the corrupt activity that goes on in West Leicestershire police Yorkshire Police, the are investigating Command Team are software theft at the heart of it. These latest discoveries also provide a different insight into why DCC Parkinson was so keen to smear FTS and, in the process, attempt to deter other companies from taking on West Yorkshire Police. They very nearly got away with it and DCC Parkinson has, of course, once more declined to comment.

Below is a complete text of a letter sent by Cllr Taylor to a respected and hard working Bradford-based civil liberties organisation who had expressed their honestly held belief that, if guilty of misconduct, the Chief Constable should resign. The female and Asian members of their team have found this message particularly upsetting. So did we at uPSD. So is your ultra-left organisation claiming that the police actually pushed into the terraces and suffocated the victims? Are you telling me that this (Hillsborough) report is not overloaded with politically correct language rather like the Stephen Lawrence enquiry (a joke in itself) was? You are not fit to tie Sir Norman Bettisons shoe laces (I was on the WYPA for nearly three years by the way) so how dare you call for his resignation. As racist and anti-American Muslims once again rail against the west with their vile language of death to infidels you choose to ignore that and concentrate on Sir Norman. What a bunch you really are. If I thought you were getting tax-payers money I would be the first to secure its removal! Apart from not having sufficient intellect to distinguish an inquiry from an enquiry these are the ramblings of an apparently deranged man drunk on the delusions of his own perceived power. Or possibly, just drunk? If ex Police Authority member Taylor doesnt understand, or embrace, the workings of the widely acclaimed Lord Justice Cllr Roger Taylor sent MacPherson report offensive communication into Stephen Lawrences death and its unequivocal conclusion, or the universally accepted police culpability for the loss of 96 lives (41 of whom could have been saved) at Hillsborough, then he needs to reflect on his position in public life. Chief Constable Bettison is widely suspected of being part of the Black Ops team that set out to deliberately smear the dead and many leading politicians, public
In another interesting development, a reliable source from within the Police Authority suggests that the decision not to investigate the complaint was made three days before the letter from WYPAs Julie Reid was received, inviting Ms Stewart-Smith to a meeting to discuss Cll Roger Taylor the complaint. That artless subterfuge simply reinforces the stated uPSD position that the whole WYPA handling of this was an artifice. That is underscored by the fact that a complaint allegedly concerning the Deputy Chief Constable was being dealt with by a person ranked joint seventh in the hierarchy at WYPA. The anonymous email matter will now be played out with the IPCC sometime in the New Year. By which time, WYPA will have passed into history and we will have a new Chief Constable. Following the front page story in issue 8 of uPSD, concerning DCC John Parkinsons Black Ops, another source confirms that no misconduct investigation has been launched by WYPA. This is backed up by the fact that none of the BBC, the Yorkshire Post, Just West Yorkshire, FTS Telecommunications, Kashif Ahmed or the FTS report author, Neil Wilby has been contacted to provide the damning evidence Cloud of corruption hangs over WYPA HQ that will prove Parkinsons misconduct.
