Regulation 75 Final reports on investigations: other DSI matters
This regulation applies on the completion of an investigation of a DSI matter in respect of which neither the Director General nor the chief executive has made a determination under regulation 34(2), (3), (4) or (7).
The person investigating must—
submit a report on the investigation to the Director General; and
send a copy of that report to the chief executive.
Paragraph (2)(a) does not apply where the person investigating is the Director General carrying out an investigation personally under regulation 45, but the Director General must complete a report on the investigation.
A person submitting a report to the Director General under paragraph (2) or completing one under paragraph (3) shall not be prevented by any obligation of secrecy imposed by any rule of law or otherwise from including all such matters in the report as the person thinks fit.
Where a person would contravene regulation 71 by sending a copy of a report in its entirety to the chief executive under paragraph (2), the person must instead send a copy of the report after having removed or obscured the information which by virtue of regulation 71 the person must not disclose.
On receipt of the report, or on its completion by the Director General, the Director General must determine whether the report indicates that the officer may have—
committed a criminal offence; or
behaved in a manner which would justify the bringing of disciplinary proceedings.
On receipt of the report, or on its completion by the Director General, the Director General must also, if the Director General considers it appropriate to do so, make a determination as to any matter dealt with in the report, being a determination other than one that the Director General is required to make under paragraph (6) or that the chief executive may be required to make by virtue of regulation 77(3).
But paragraphs (6) and (7) and regulation 77 do not apply, or cease to apply, in relation to a report submitted under paragraph (2) or completed under paragraph (3) if, following the submission or completion of the report, the Director General determines under regulation 80 that the DSI matter is to be re-investigated.
