Regulation 31 Copies of complaints etc
Where a complaint is recorded under regulation 9(5), the police and crime panel shall—
supply to the complainant a copy of the record made of the complaint; and
subject to paragraphs (2) to (4), supply to the person complained against a copy of the complaint.
A copy of a complaint supplied under this regulation may be in a form which keeps anonymous the identity of the complainant or of any other person.
A police and crime panel may decide not to supply a copy of a complaint if it is of the opinion that to do so—
might prejudice any criminal investigation or pending proceedings, or
would otherwise be contrary to the public interest.
Where a police and crime panel decides not to supply a copy of a complaint, it shall keep that decision under regular review.
