Recommendation MACP-58: Home Secretary ensure independent investigation of serious complaints against police officers
From Macpherson Inquiry — Final Report, published 24 February 1999.
Recommendation
That the Home Secretary, taking into account the strong expression of public perception in this regard, consider what steps can and should be taken to ensure that serious complaints against police officers are independently investigated. Investigation of police officers by their own or another Police Service is widely regarded as unjust, and does not inspire public confidence.
Jurisdiction: UK-wide
