Recommendation 2
The IOPC recommends that Merseyside Police takes steps to ensure that in investigations in relation to firearms offences, investigators and supervisors are strongly encouraged to seek early investigative advice from the Crown Prosecution Service.
This is so that all relevant evidence can be assessed and the evidential enquiries necessary for a charging decision can be identified and documented as soon as practicable.
