A fully funded empire apparently no longer giving full value!

Why was I sitting there? The only spectator in the in the public gallery of the February23, 2023 Niagara Regional Police Service Board witnessing a Service Board Member repeatedly attempting to get a straight answer from the Police Chief while other Board Members sat in feckless silence waiting their opportunity to spend other people’s money!

Perhaps, with a properly functioning Police Service Board, this article would not be necessary. MORE

Suddenly I was accosted by an individual wanting to know my name as if attending a public meeting negates anonymity! She said she recognized my name as a reporter. When she tried to leave, I explained the reason I was there was because I was trying to report a crime and that as a matter of fact my constant attempts at reporting a Crime, a very serious crime, a crime that strikes at the very heart of our society and that my ‘See something – Say Something’ was being ignored! With that, she claimed that she would bring my concern to the police chief. 

As of the posting of this story we have received nothing of the promised notification from the Chief of the NRPS!

If you are reading this March 16, 2023 report it is because News Alert Niagara has been unable to get a response from the NRP regarding our attempt to 'See something-Say something' about Crime and Corruption!

.

Listening to the drone of the police chief desperately attempting to avoid the service board member's questions, I thought of the first time I attended the NRPS Board meeting. 

At that time, June 2014, I made a presentation to the police board regarding the attempted murder of Photographer Micheal Farkas at the hands of a criminal minded police officer. https://newsalertniagara.blogspot.com/2014/06/charges-dropped-photographer-sues-police.html

.

Up until recently I had always thought of police actions as incidents, not as a systemic problem.

.

Suspicion started to set in when I asked for the police report regarding the illegal theft of my equipment by the Niagara Regional Government! Why would our NRP withhold my police report? Surely it wasn’t just to protect bureaucracy from a charge of criminal mischief, defending the hand that feeds them. Could that be what they mean by ‘To Protect and Serve’? https://newsalertniagara.blogspot.com/2022/12/criminal-mischief-under-color-of-law.html

Not this time! This time it was a question of ‘Serve and Protect’ - WHO? 

This time it was the direct conduct of the NRP that brought me to the NRPS Board looking for answers as to why ‘See Something – Say Something’ was so clearly being avoided in favour of Bureaucrats; Bureaucrats that possibly have the power of the purse; The power to finance or not to finance the rapidly expanding NRPS Empire; a fully funded empire apparently no longer giving full value!

The sentiment espoused here is the result of failed attempts of ‘See Something -Say Something’ regarding criminal activity perpetrated by those we have elected and/or hired.

The ‘See Something’ that we reported over a period of several months, was the specter of interfering and intercepting emails sent from Citizens to the elected officials!

Recipients of emails can ignore the message, read the message, delete without reading or if the recipient is physic and/or knows it all, can block the sender!

However, emails between Citizens and their elected officials is a matter of concern ONLY to those involved! Anyone who uses their authority to interfere with emails to elected officials also has the temerity to interfere with anyone’s email and that is why there is a severe monetary penalty including a prison term of up to 5  years!

Our written report to the NRPS

I am writing requesting am explanation to a bewildering set of contradictions.

The phrase 'See Something Say Something' apparently does not apply if the thing one sees is unlawful activity perpetrated by civil authority!

I did say something when I saw what I considered unlawful activity being perpetrated by civil authorities!

I Complained about obstruction of justice under the Criminal code 'The offence of obstructing justice requires a wilful attempt by an accused, in any manner, to obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of justice. The sentence is imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years if proceeded with by Indictment.'

I complained about interference and interception of emails intended for our elected officials under the Criminal Code (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46)

This is what we received from NRP:
