Complaint Handling Reviews

The Complaints

The complaints in this case arose after the applicant made an allegation against a serving police officer, regarding their conduct. We have reviewed the handling of three complaints, namely that:

1. A Detective Inspector failed to conduct sufficient and appropriate enquiry into the conduct of a serving police officer, which the applicant believes constituted a breach of the peace;
2. No action was taken by Police Scotland with regards to a previous report made about a named officer, whom the applicant alleges posted on social media that he had been bullied by an unnamed senior manager, which the applicant believes was directed at him; and,
3. An incident reported by the applicant involving a serving officer was wrongly categorised as an off-duty incident. 

Police Scotland’s Decision

Police Scotland did not uphold any of the applicant’s complaints.

Our Findings

We have found that Police Scotland handled all of the applicant’s complaints to a reasonable standard.

No further action is required in this connection.
