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.
