Police Officer Notebook The Square Blackhole
Police Officer Notebook
The Square Blackhole
The Art of the Secret Notebook Deception
The average member of the public would consider the Police Notebook an official document to be a vital tool to policing, something that could be treated as sacred. A book containing personal and vital information, detailing scenes of all incidents that Police Officers have been called to. The Notebook is used to keep notes of investigations and policy making. It is also an aid to to refresh an officer’s memory when they are to give evidence in a court room. It could be used an audit and paper trail for fact checking and holding Police Officers accountable.
So when a Police Officer “misplaces” a Notebook or even destroys it, one might think a serious crime has been committed by that Officer but in this Culture of Police Corruption it seems to be standard Police Policy at least within Greater Manchester Police. The Police Notebook is in fact a small Black Square Hole where vital information is vanished without a trace from the public along with any hopes of holding Police Officers accountable for their actions and decision processes have gone forever.
These are some of the rules to the Notebook according to the National Guidelines for Police Officers:
Entries should be made at the time of the event which is being recorded or, where circumstances prevent this, as soon as possible after the event. Where there is a delay the specific reasons should be included, for example the conduct of the suspect or other persons involved in the incident.
The day, date and year should be recorded and underlined at the beginning of entries for that day.
All surnames and place names should be in block capitals.
Each entry should include time and location.
Names and addresses of victims, offenders, witnesses and informants should be recorded. Additional information about the offender may be relevant depending on the incident.
It is often necessary to record information or a person’s account of an incident immediately into the notebook and, as a result, the entry may not necessarily make sense to a reader. Such an entry should be made in direct speech wherever possible

Anthony Grainger Inquiry
After a killing of an innocent unarmed man Antony Grainger by a Police Officer in a pre planned operation in Cheshire on 3 March 2012 a Public Inquiry was launched in 2017. Justice Watch admins have been attending the court proceedings where details of the usage of Police Officers Notebooks become clear and what was unknown by the public out of naivety was revealed to us. The conspiracy to coverup Police Officers incompetence and criminal acts in relation to the Anthony Grainger case became obvious whenever the Notebook was mentioned in court under oath.
You would think after a Murder as taken place at the hands of a Manchester Police Officer, firing a single shot to the heart of Anthony Grainger who was clearly no threat to anyone as he sat in a stationary car, all documentation in relation to this case would be stalled in some type of evidence locker room including all Notebook entries by Police Officers involved.
UNAVAILABLE
The IPCC who had started the investigation into the Murder of Anthony Grainger soon after the incident took place and was seeking for a copy of Michael Lawler Strategic Firearm Command Log Book which would have provided vital information on the incident and events leading up to the shooting. Michael Lawler was the Former Chief Inspector Tactical Fire Arms Commander. However GMP refused to give the IPCC the Log claiming that it was unavailable at the present time.
The log was assumed to have been stored with the Firearms Training Unit. They have a automated system whereby if the log book is not stored within a time frame you get an email “where is your log” this shows the importance of the Log. Despite this “Security Check” no one seemed to know the whereabouts of this Logbook.
Despite Michael Lawler claiming he did not have access to the Log Book there was a copy of the Log Book pages given to the then Acting Chief Constable Steven Heywood for his interview with the IPCC. So how can a copy be produced when the Original Log Book was not Available? Surly they would not be trying to get their stories straighten out before they pass the information over to the IPCC, coincidently this specific Log Book is allocated to other Officers within that Unit who was also present that day.
WASTE BIN
Michael Lawler later on decided that his Daybook (not to get confused with strategic Firearm Command Log Book) was no longer any use to anyone and he had this vital piece of evidence destroyed even though at the time an ongoing IPCC investigation was taking place. His reason for doing so was simply because he was retiring from the force but not yet officially retired and thought there would be no need to keep hold of this Notebook and it was put in the Waste Bin never to be seen again. What he had written or not written in his Log Book in relation to the Anthony Grainger Murder we will never know, surly he was not getting rid of vital evidence that would incriminate himself and fellow Officers. . The only operation he had been involved in.
SET ON FIRE & MISSING
In the Event of Robert Dickinson the Chief Inspector in Cheshire Force who was the Incident Manager Inspector in charge of the force control room at the time. His Pocket Notebook was magically lost by Cheshire Police Force and his Notebook/day book he throws out disposed of likely in a bonfire in his back garden.
“How the Cheshire Constabulary store pocket notebooks now is not something i am familiar with. As far as my notebook would be concerned, not my police pocket notebook but by normal notebook i had no idea. I have searched high and low in the house. I Know i disposed of a load of old documents a couple of years ago, that was just clearing out the attic. So it was just decluttering “
Despite the IPCC requesting for his logs and an active IPCC investigation he destroyed his evidence , I wonder what are the chances of both of his books disappearing just a coincidence I suppose just like the early retirement.
WASTE BIN
Seven Heywood who was the Assistant Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police. Currently Head Of Terrorism in the North West of England “protecting” us from ISIS couldn't protect critical evidence to a Murder investigation that involved himself being a player in the operation. He was cleaning out his office few months before his retirement and put Notebook in a confidential waste bin.
Steven Heywood was also found to be using an out of date Command Log Book which was almost two years old, a new one was issued to all officers which came into the force in 2010. These national command logs should have been adopted by all forces with immediate effect.
RETROACTIVITY
During the Michael Lawler testimony he stated that he was not obliged to mark retroactive entrances in his notebook... He stated that his Day Book would consist of Plans for the firearm operations such as the one that involved Anthony Grainger and most importantly what intelligence was known at the time. With the ability to retroactively go back an write up a report in His Daybook after the officers has synced together their stories seems to be open to corruption.
Steven Heywood for an example had written notes in his Day Book retroactively days after the incident to strengthen his case for the use of firearms in the operation involving Anthony Grainger, he had written intelligence report notes in his Day Book which would not have been known to him at the time.
Inventing entrances into a Day Books retroactively by not writing down dates and times when entrances are written at that moment gives the false impression that this Intelligence was available and taken into account when making decision to authorise the deployment of firearms officers. This Intelligence gathered could easily be created and manipulated after the incident to justify such actions, as Micheal Lawler informed the court that some Covert Intelligence is not recorded but known.
SILENCE IS GOLDEN
Obviously without the actual Notebooks we are completely dependent on the Police Officers word alone without any Auditing or cross examination being able to take place, in basic terms the Police Officers can make up the story as they go along because there is no way of proving what was or was not written within the Notebooks and therefore not knowing what they knew or did know at the time . In no way is destroying or losing a Police Notebook an Official Document is perverting the course of justice or decreases any transparency within the police force.... but silence is golden just like their police retirement pension.
