Have you written? Would you like it on public record? We will consider your letters for inclusion: they may be useful as an example for others. |
Having received no reply, a second letter was sent to Dr Levy to focus on just one of the issues. When you've read this, read the astonishing comments after the letter, as reported by Mast Sanity in 2002.
Allegations reported in the media by Mast Sanity Following trials in Lancashire and Yorkshire, police officers reported 200 instances of ill health. It has been reported to Mast Sanity that Dr Mireille Levy, who we understand is the Officer at the Home Office and is responsible for research projects into the new police radio service TETRA, stated: I dont believe they are sick, they are not sick enough to stop this trial. South West Police Federation Rep. Steve Pearce is then alleged to have asked about the Police Officers who are ill, when Dr Levy is alleged to have replied: They can always leave the force ... nothing will stop TETRA and if the Officers dont like it they can resign .... In her final statement to the conference proper she is said to have stated that: They will be studying the health of the police for 10-15 years, but they are not guinea pigs. Other comments to questions put to her by delegates from the conference floor were: What would happen if I refused to use the equipment? Dr Levy replied: You would be required to use the equipment that you are issued, if you do not want to use the equipment then you could leave the force. Another delegate asked: Who would be responsible if I contracted leukaemia? Dr Levy replied: No one is. (See Mast Sanity Press pages) |
