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

                                   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
                                                                3685
