Response to the Home Office review of investigatory arrangements which follow police use of force and police driving incidents (PDF, 240.4 KB)

The IAPDC response to the Home Office’s review of investigatory arrangements which follow police use of force and police driving incidents.

While the review clearly includes issues extending beyond the Panel’s remit, the framework of laws and guidance “that underpin police use of force and police driving, and the subsequent framework for investigation of any incidents that may occur” under consideration in the Review is by and large the same framework which operates to prevent deaths in police custody.
