IPCC investigation into 14 former and serving Staffordshire Police officers now complete
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation into allegations against 14 former and serving Staffordshire Police officers is now complete, and the investigation report will be sent to the relevant police forces and police and crime commissioners in due course.
The managed investigation looked at:
- how a protected witness was dealt with by police;
- disclosure issues prior to the 2008 trial of five men for the murder of Kevin Nunes in 2002.
The investigation was carried out by the Chief Constable of Derbyshire, Mick Creedon, under the direction and control of the IPCC.
IPCC Commissioner Cindy Butts said:
"I have noted today’s CPS decision that there is insufficient evidence to prosecute any of the nine police officers investigated. The IPCC will soon be providing the appropriate police and crime commissioners and relevant forces with a report detailing our findings as to whether or not a number of serving officers have a case to answer for either misconduct or gross misconduct and should face disciplinary proceedings.”
Background
In January this year the CPS decided there was insufficient evidence to prosecute five other police officers over the same matter.
For officers who have retired since the timeframe of the allegations, our report will present a case to answer as if they were still serving.
