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

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
3321
appeal to the IPCC. As I stated to you earlier today, the MPS can only apologise for this oversight.
