➢ 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 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.
