    February 2012

    policy/administration

Summary
Mr C made three complaints about the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service’s (COPFS) handling of his complaint about police officers.

On looking into the complaints, we found that of the three, two related to the investigation of crime and, therefore, fell outside our jurisdiction.

On investigating the third complaint we found that the COPFS had not failed to address issues raised by Mr C. We found that the COPFS explained what they had done to investigate Mr C's criminal allegations and that they concluded their investigations were adequate. We, therefore, did not uphold Mr C's complaint.
