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 reinvestigation, 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
3424,
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. Additionally, as agreed, if you could send me Dean’s details, or
