Issue - meetings

Report by the Clerk to the Police and Crime Panel.

Six pieces of correspondence have been received since the last meeting of the Panel. The report provides details of the complaints received and the action taken.

There are currently no complaints awaiting final determination by the Panel or the Clerk to the Panel.

The Panel is asked to consider the report and raise any issues or concerns regarding the complaints received.

90.     The Panel received a report from the Clerk to the Panel providing an update on complaints received in the last quarter.

91.     The Panel was concerned regarding the response received to the Hewitt and Grey complaint concerning an inappropriate relationship between the Force and a local author. The response from the Commissioner was considered bland and undermined the significance of the complaint. Appropriate checks and balances were required to avoid a repeat of such a situation and in the event of a reoccurrence a more robust response would be necessary.

92.   Resolved – that the Panel notes the report.
