Man accuses female officer of wanting to be a ‘Supa Cop’
The was the concern of one caller to this news site just yesterday March 14, 2017 who complained bitterly about allegedly being wrongfully arrested and ticketed by police. “They are their own enemies and nothing will get done easily because we cannot trust them,” said the male caller.
Female officer has ‘issues’
The man explained that he felt targeted by traffic cops as one tried hard to have him arrested for an alleged ticketable offense. “I was not wrong, they claimed that I didn’t indicate when attempting to cross lane and if the Heavenly Father could come down and testify on my behalf he would tell the truth that I was flashing my indicator long before I even started to pull over to the other lane,” the man explained.
He further alleged that as he calmly tried to explain to the officers, one of which was a female (name provided) he was accused of not cooperating and arguing and was threatened with arrest. “That woman has issues…she got issues [and] she out there taking vengeance on people.”
“I have a $200 ticket for something I am not guilty of, I could lose over $1000 if I decide to go challenge it in court and in the same light waste a lot of the court’s time that could be spent fighting so many other serious crimes they have to deal with.”
Calling on the CoP
The man claimed he attempted to bring the matter to the attention of the Commissioner of Police Michael Matthews but was unsuccessful.
“But I want to call on the Commissioner of Police, I tried calling his office but I was always told he was not available to speak to me. I am one of many persons who need to urge the Commissioner to pull that woman (name called) from the streets, have her access refresher training because, Commissioner, so many people can’t be telling a lie on her. She lies and also calls herself a Christian.”
According to the man, the Commissioner defends his officers but he needs to see the other side of the coin.
“He has to give complainants satisfaction, not to have them go to the courts for justice. There are issues he can use discretion and give people some satisfaction. There is that woman officer (name called) that seems like she wants to become recognised as a Supa Cop too but the way is not to pin offences on innocent people… she needs to stop it.”
Lack of trust an individual issue- CoP
Responding to the allegations, Commissioner of Police Michael Matthews reminded that there is a published and recognised complaints procedure where the public may report any wrongdoing by sworn police officers.
“Our complaints department will be happy to speak in confidence on any such matters. I encourage any members of the community who are not satisfied with the service they receive from the RVIPF to use the complaints procedure - we can only improve by learning from our public about our service. That is not a judgement about any of my officers but a willingness for the force to always look to improve.”
As for lack of trust in the police Mr Matthews said “that is an individual issue for the person concerned. I find it hard to believe they cannot find one officer in the current 200 that they can trust. We of course have our Crimestoppers line which is independent of the force and information can be given anonymously.”
The top cop noted that there is also a civic duty on all citizens to report what they know, especially in relation to major crimes. “It is not the sole responsibility of the police; however, I do recognise there is more work required to create greater trust and confidence in local policing if we are to enjoy a successful partnership with our communities.”

Wize up you should really change your name to dumb @$$. Were you really a police as you often want to make people believe. Well if you were, you had no real purpose as a member of the RVIPF. People lets get serious, are these haters really saying or suggesting that because the police have to deal with them when they broke the law for minor infractions, that they don't trust the police to give information when greater crime occurs. Well if that's the case, we are really, really hopeless. Let me say this again, withholding information that you have about serious crime because the police had to deal with you at some point for breaking the law, will never hurt the police. It will only hurt the families of the victims, the whole territory and yourself in the long run. Therefore it makes no sense for you all to try and put up a smoke screen about not trusting police. If you all think murder in this territory is a police problem them continue with your all foolish ass nonsense that you all don't trust police. The police cannot turn a blind eye to minor infractions because if they do, those same minor things will surely lead to greater and then we have a real serious problem on our hand. Wize up I can always see the bitterness in you against the police because you feel you should have still been a member but you have passed the age and after over 25 years you could have only reach the rank of sergeant, so it means you wasn't really serving any real purpose so there was no need to have you stay on. If you think that you have what it takes to solve the crimes here, go and form your own private investigations company and see how much business you will get. Policing is not trying to fix AC units or old fridges
