P. 683

this mean we can not get this information until after the
                                   investigation is completed?

                                   What will happen if PC G does not want to assist in this
                                   investigation, how long will you give him to reply to your
                                   letter before you decide he is not willing to assist in the
                                   investigation?

                                   I know this time we will have the right to appeal to the
                                   IPCC, if we are not happy, but I do believe there is
                                   enough information and I can not see why the CPS would
                                   not want to take this further, the only reason I can see
                                   them not wanting to take this on is due to PC G is now
                                   Head of Criminal Justice, Centre for Social Justice.

                                   How long do you think it will take you to complete the
                                   investigation?

                                   Regards

                                   Lorraine Cordell

                                   Subject: Our meeting today.

                                   Good Afternoon Lorraine,

                                   I hope this email finds you well.

                                   Further to our meeting last month I have written to PC
                                   G to give him the opportunity to participate in the re‐
                                   investigation, I await his reply. When and if he replies I
                                   shall of course let you know.

                                   Regarding a CPS referral, having reviewed the evidence I
                                   am currently of the view that such a referral should be
                                   left to the determination of our Appropriate Authority (
                                   A.A. ‐ senior officer who reviews my report) upon the
                                   conclusion of the investigation. As it stands, I see
                                   nothing to prohibit such a referral, should the A.A. think
                                   it appropriate.

                                   As you know, should the A.A. elect not to refer the
                                   matter to the CPS, you would of course have a right of
                                   appeal to the IPCC along those lines.

                                   If you have any questions for me please do let me know.

                                   Kind regards
