CPS REVIEWING OF CASE FILES: -
Duty Prosecutors must apply the Code for Crown Prosecutors when reviewing
any case received from the police, and continue to do so during the life of a case,
to be satisfied that there is sufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of
conviction against each defendant for each offence and that it is in the public
interest to proceed.
Crown Prosecutors must also consider any human rights issues that arise.
The Joint Performance Standards: -
Standard 1 – Police will undertake an effective, early investigation to reduce use
of pre-charge bail: -
Standard 2 – Police will obtain ‘key evidence’ before referral to a prosecutor for
a charging decision: -
438,
Standard 3 – Police will themselves charge or NFA cases in accordance with the
DPP’s Guidance on Charging: -

438,
Standard 4 – CPS will provide an immediately accessible service for the
telephone referral of cases: -
Standard 5 – CPS will ensure early face-to-face consultations are provided for
serious, sensitive and complex cases: -
Standard 6 – CPS will ensure that charging decisions are consistent and in
accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors and appropriate legal and
policy guidance.
Police Personal Conduct: -
These values underpin all policing functions and in respect of police personal
conduct and require all person(s) working for the police service to “behave in a
manner, whether on or off duty, which does not bring discredit on the police
service or undermine public confidence in policing” (See Standard 9 – Conduct).
The Code explicitly states that complying with the National Crime Recording
Standard (NCRS), which is the central rules from the Home Office that do
comply with the Counting Rules for Recorded Crime (HOCR), is an example of
meeting the standards.
