The SFE - Doc 85 Ipswich Firefighter

Analysis Doc 84 Divisional Officer Colin Hodges notebook
10th June 1998

General
The actual scrawl and infantile structure of DO Hodge’s writing is clearly not demonstrated in the copied extracts. Whilst the administrator of this blog does not have other comparisons of DO Hodge’s handwriting it seems that his notebook writing is pretty atrocious. Is it pressure, stress, aniexity or other emotive force that is reducing DO Hodge’s hand writing capability.

.. interviewed S Davies, HRM ………. I referred to her e/mail to DCFO 3/6/98 @ 5.18 pm (Doc 55). In particular “He (Sub/O W) was fairly rude and I told him there was no point in being facetious” S Davies confirmed that although his manner had not been good, he was obviously upset and she did not think anything….

It would appear that DO Hodge was now conducting a fishing trip and at the outermost fringes of his mandate notified in the Regulation 7 letter (Doc 73). Clearly seeking to cultivate a rich field of charges from the singular event.

…..more of his attitude. She did not feel his rudeness was an issue that needed to be taken further. Ms Davies confirmed that she had told Sub/O W to use the grievance procedure and she confirmed he did not indicate that he intended to use the “near miss” procedure X (marked in text?)

I believe the rudeness arises from making a complaint in a blunt and direct manner and informing Ms Davies of the unlawful deduction. Funny that Ms Davies did not offer an appointment for the grievance procedure. Maybe she forgot?

……. call from K Davey and arranged to interview him at his home address (address blanked out) @ 09.45 am 11 June 98. X (marked in text?)

Now that is strange considering that K Davey was attending Sizewell Nuclear Power Station to provide commercial fire training commencing 09.00hrs on 11th June 1998. Maybe DO Hodge got mixed up, maybe he added his comments at a later date?

CONFIDENTIALITY as indicated in her letter to Sub/O W dated 29 May 98 (Doc 49) she felt this indicated the Brigades position that we would not discuss the issue other than with Sub/O W or those the letter was copied to. She was of the view that if he chose to copy the letter to anyone else, that was his right as the letter was his to do with as he chose.

Another prime example of Fire Service Command Power Syndrome Theory in action and fishing/creativity for/in disciplinary charges. Of course Ms Davies is quite right the letter was X’s property.

Would seem that this entry was not contemporaneous?
