| Police Custody – Response to Complaints Against the Police Framework for a New System – February 2001 | |
| Renewing public confidence in the complaints system will only be achieved when there is a real openness and willingness to acknowledge fault.

It is not an issue of perception but a real problem in the effective investigation of complaints; in its failure to ensure lessons are learned from complaints. This response examines the system and highlights key issues. Not currently available. | |
