Staffordshire Police and Crime Commissioner (21 001 854)

Statement Not upheld Other 11-Feb-2022

Summary: Mr X complained about how the Police and Crime Commissioner handled his contacts about the actions of officers of a police force, including those delegated to take actions on behalf of the Chief Constable. The Ombudsman’s decision is we should end our investigation. This is because Mr X is asking the Commissioner to respond to issues which were, in the first instance, related to reports of an alleged crime. The Ombudsman cannot look at matters related to investigation of a crime. We could not conduct a meaningful investigation without looking into those matters. And there is not enough potential injustice in the matters we could investigate to warrant our continued involvement.
