The Complaints
The complaints in this case arose after the applicant was stopped by two police officers as part of their enquiries into the whereabouts of a vulnerable missing person.
We have reviewed the handling of two complaints, namely that:
officers lied in their statements in relation to a previous complaint about the police made by the applicant ; and
an officer lied in her statement, in that she did not make a phone call in the applicant’s presence to confirm a vulnerable male’s description.
Police Scotland’s Decision
Police Scotland did not uphold either of the applicant’s complaints.
Our Findings
We have found that Police Scotland handled both complaints to a reasonable standard.
No further action is required.
