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 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.
3188,
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
