believe there is enough information and I cannot see why the CPS would not want to take this
further, the only reason I can see them not wanting to take this on is due to PC G is now Head
of Criminal Justice, Centre for Social Justice. How long do you think it will take you to
complete the investigation?

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 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.
