P. 445

I know you said you would have no problem giving us the notebook and his statement and other information,
           does this mean we can not get this information until after the investigation is completed?

           What will happen if PC G does not want to assist in this investigation, how long will you give him to reply to your
           letter before you decide he is not willing to assist in the investigation?

           I know this time we will have the right to appeal to the IPCC, if we are not happy, but I do believe there is
           enough information and I can not 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?

           Regards

           Lorraine Cordell

           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
                                                                3423
