that in 2021 Mark Roberts failed to record, refer or investigate evidence that @cheshirepolice had assisted Damon Taylor to evade arrest in August 2006 after allegations of misconduct in public office had been reported against him and acknowledged by Head of #Cheshire PSD

@DebbieKennett 1/2 Dan Price @cheshirepcc & his Chief Exec Damon Taylor (former Dep Clerk #Cheshire Police Authority) failed to record, refer or investigate allegations reported against Mark Roberts, including

Mark Roberts is the latest in a long line of @cheshirepolice chief officers since Nigel Burgess in 1998, Peter Fahy etc who failed to investigate allegations that #Cheshire SIOs fabricated intelligence & evidence to justify starting investigations, major search ops & surveillance

Mark Roberts retires from @cheshirepolice with serious questions still unresolved. Records show that serious crimes reported against former @policeconduct Commissioners & others alleged to have assisted #Cheshire SIO's evade arrest were not properly recorded or investigated

@damian17236445 Evidence shows Mark Roberts & @cheshirepolice failed to record & investigate serious crimes reported against former @policeconduct Commissioners 2021-2026 for exceeding authority between 2004 & 2010 & assisting #Cheshire Senior Investigating Officers evade arrest

@nantwichnews @cheshirepolice PCC John Dwyer and Chief Executive Damon Taylor dismissed complaints against Chief Constable Mark Roberts over his alleged failure to record or investigate serious allegations reported against Dwyer and Taylor in 2021 for their own acts & omissions between 1998 and 2009

Mark Roberts, Chief Constable of Cheshire Police, has retired. He said: "I had hoped to take the force through to 2028, but the decision has been made to take the force in a different direction." https://t.co/bQLhGObQ5B

In 2021, serious allegations were reported against PCC John Dwyer & Chief Executive Damon Taylor concerning acts between 1998 and 2009, including alleged failures around police complaint handling, referral, recording, investigation and oversight. Still require investigation

PCC John Dwyer & Chief Exec Damon Taylor dismissed complaints against Chief Constable Mark Roberts over alleged failure to record or investigate serious allegations reported against Dwyer & Taylor in 2021. Who independently reviews decisions where the complainants are implicated?

Mark Roberts retires from Cheshire Constabulary with serious unanswered questions still unresolved. Records raise concerns that allegations of reported crimes involving former IPCC Commissioners and others were not properly recorded or investigated.

Only an independent public inquiry can examine whether @CPSUK , CPS Special Crime Division, the DPP, GMPA, @policeconduct and @cheshirepolice properly addressed the #Cheshire evidence before it followed Fahy and his Cheshire colleagues into @gmpolice .

Who investigates the investigators when #PoliceInvestigation , @CPSUK
and @policeconduct have all been placed on notice of alleged wrongdoing?

This is not about assuming guilt. It is about asking why evidence capable of affecting the leadership of @gmpolice and the integrity of @cheshirepolice was apparently not escalated when Greater Manchester @CPSUK knew the file existed.

If so, unresolved @cheshirepolice corruption concerns may have followed Fahy and his #Cheshire-linked colleagues into @gmpolice , with consequences for #Whistleblowers, disclosure duties, public confidence and conviction safety.

By failing to notify the DPP and GMPA, Greater Manchester @CPSUK may have allowed material allegations concerning Fahy’s @cheshirepolice tenure to sit outside the appointment and oversight process for the new @gmpolice Chief Constable.

The common thread is institutional avoidance: serious evidence is received; conflicts are recognised; files are moved; but the people with responsibility for real action are not apparently told.

The later @policeconduct investigation into @gmpolice whistleblower allegations must therefore be viewed against that history. If the oversight system had already failed to act on @cheshirepolice evidence from 2003 onwards, was it ever likely to expose the wider problem?

This provides important context for later #Whistleblowers allegations by @PeteJacksonGMP & @MaggieOliverUK within @gmpolice . Those concerns did not arise in isolation; they followed years of unresolved @cheshirepolice evidence and alleged institutional inaction
