Ken Jones took over the position of chief constable after Paul Whitehouse left disgraced by his handling of complaints as to procedural irregularity ending in the shooting and death of a civilian.

Most recently the new Chief Constable has been giving evidence to the Morris Inquiry.  We understand Mr Jones has received a number of complaints from the public concerning breaches of the Human Rights Act  occasioned by the Wealden District Council working hand in hand with officers of Wealden D C.  This is a new issue for the Police to come to terms with in addition to any complaint of harassment, deception or misuse of public funds.

It appears the Sussex Police may have been assisting Wealden's enforcement officers to evade their duty to ensure a fair hearing, they being required by law to substantiate the reasons for enforcement visits.  It appears the Sussex Police may not have been aware of the requirements of Wealden's enforcement officers to provide detailed evidence as to their authorisation.

 Most Police forces are part funded by their local authorities.  Because of this they should take special care not be seen to be acting to the detriment of the public.  Should they do so they leave themselves open to criticism such as masonic ties, or other cosy relationships, normally only revealed by whistleblowers.

However, the Police must act in accordance with the Police Act and Code of Conduct .  It is their duty to protect the public and the peace.  Not to do so constitutes a crime in itself as in R v Dytham and R v Bowden.

Ken Jones failed to mount any kind of investigation as to the mounting allegations of fraud against Wealden District Council, including the case of Nelson Kruschandl, the well known anti-corruption activist.

Deputy Commissioner of Victoria Police

On 25 May 2009 it was announced that he had been appointed as the Deputy Commissioner (Crime) for Victoria Police in Australia. He assumed the duties of this role on 1 July 2009.

MEDIA

During the time Sir Ken Jones served Victoria Police Force he became the subject of death threats which came to public light in December 2010. This signalled the start of the complicated relationship at the top of Victoria Police concerning the integrity of the presentation of crime statistics to the public between Jones and Overland. Concerns have been raised about Overland's actions as there is an ongoing investigation into allegations of Overland's own conduct with the former Brumby government, in particular the release of incomplete favorable crime statistics prior to the 2010 election.

Jones had objected to this politicisation of policing. Jones was reportedly the subject of an investigation by the Office of Police Integrity requested by Overland, over Overland's suspicions that he helped media expose the cherry-picked crime statistics. However these reports were found to be untrue and harmful to Sir Ken Jones' career in a report published by the Ombudsman. IBAC Press release, para 5 : 

"Mr Kellam’s review concluded that the evidence available to OPI and set out in OPI’s final investigation report to the Ombudsman did not support an allegation that Sir Ken Jones QPM had engaged in serious misconduct by leaking or facilitating leaking to the media of confidential police information".

This final report cleared Jones of any wrongdoing during his time at Victoria Police Force.

Our advice to the public, is to log every complaint to the Police by recorded delivery.  If possible tape record, or even better video record the event.  Believe us, there is no substitute for hard footage to combat the lies of a police officer failing to do his duty and lbe complacent they will be!
