Subject: Our meeting today.

Good Afternoon Lorraine,

Thank you for taking the team to meet with this
afternoon, I found our meeting very useful in enabling
me to better understand your complaint.

To confirm, the first thing I shall consider is a referral to
the CPS. I shall begin by examining what consideration
was given to such a referral by the previous investigator,
Jeannette Riley.

Under the legislation that governs police complaints it is
possible to seek guidance from the CPS where there is
an indication that a criminal offence may have been
committed, it is this test that I shall apply.

Leaving the CPS issue aside for a moment and the
possibility of criminal charges, I acknowledge your
request to have sight of the PC Geoghegan’s MG11 and
notebook. Such a disclosure can be made under
Schedule 3 of the Police Reform Act 2002. I shall revisit
this request once the possibility of a CPS referral has
been addressed. However, I fully intend to comply with
such a request, subject to necessary redactions.

Going forward, In addition the your original points of
complaint I shall also attempt to provide a clear
explanation for the issues surrounding the misconduct
meeting occurring before you had the opportunity to
appeal to the IPCC. As I stated to you earlier today, the
MPS can only apologise for this oversight.

Additionally, as agreed, if you could send me Dean’s
details, or forward mine to him, that would be very
much appreciated.

Of course, I’ll keep you updated every step of the away.

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

Kind regards

Jamie Newman | Serious Misconduct Investigation Unit
