The content in this section aims to inform police staff about:
Being the subject of a complaint
How to raise concerns
How complaints are handled
Outcomes of complaints
The complaints system, in addition to police officers, covers all police staff in a wide variety of roles including:
custody staff
Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs)
administration, clerical, front counter and reception staff
forensic crime scene investigation and fingerprint staff
special constables
designated private sector escort and detention officers
The IPCC, UNISON and PCS have different responsibilities – but we all want the system to be fair, straightforward and clear to members of police staff.
UNISON and PCS have endorsed the information in this section.
