I appreciate your concerns re timeliness.

As you know I discussed this matter with my supervisor last week.

Being the matter of greatest importance to you I first discussed the possibility of a CPS referral prior to the
matter being sent to our appropriate authority for a final determination. Here, my supervisor was not of the
mind to refer the matter to the CPS, citing that PC G’s actions likely did not constitute a criminal offence.

I understand this will come as a disappointment to you, however our appropriate authority may still decide
the matter should be referred to the CPS upon the conclusion of the re‐investigation. Of course, should this
not be the case you will still have a right of appeal to the IPCC on this issue.

Going forward, I do not propose to continue to seek a further account from PC G, instead I shall set to work
on completing the report with the information I have in my possession. Here I note your wish for the matter
to be concluded quickly and the potential benefit that such a further account would add to the investigation.

Although it is difficult to give definitive timescales, I hope to have the report completed by the end of
November.

As previously promised, as per your requests under the Police Reform Act, upon the completion of the report
I shall send out a copy of PC G’s notebook, together with any other documents that may be of interest to you.

If you’ve any further questions please do get in touch.

Kind regards

Dear Jamie Newman

Thank you for the update I hope you are well.

I was wondering if there is any update, I think you have given PC G enough time in order to address this and
work with you in this matter which it seems so far he has failed to do so.

It has been 3 months since you sent the recorded letter and you have not heard anything and I believe that in it
self shows he is not willing to address this.

I know by past the DPS would not have given us so long to reply they would have just went ahead without us to
complete there report.

I know a lot of years was spent on the 1st investigation and overall this has now been ongoing since 2013 when
this started, it is now 5 years in Nov 2017 this case has been on going I know some of this was due to the DPS
not being able to do anything as court action was ongoing, but this court action should have never started in the
1st place. In fact this whole thing should never have happened if PC G had done his job correctly.

Could I please get an update as to were we are and how long this is going to take as you did state I should have
the report by October 2017 but I cant see this happening now due to the time you have waited for PC G, which I
