Recommendation 19
19
Paragraph: 116
Unsatisfactory blame-shifting and lack of officer cooperation impede effective investigations.
Conclusion
It is unsatisfactory and unedifying to hear policing organisations blame the IOPC for delay while the IOPC suggests officers may drag their heels in cooperating with investigations. Nor is it wholly sufficient for Chief Constable Guildford to suggest Police Conduct and Complaints 49 the IOPC could resolve some of that dilemma by using its powers more vigorously; police officers should not need to be forced to cooperate with conduct investigations.
