about the Police
The police are involved in the investigation of Work-Related
Deaths and are obliged to follow the "Protocol
of Liaison on Work-Related Deaths". To read about

manslaughter, click

You may have concerns about the following sorts of
issues:
| • |
the
police have not undertaken an investigation, when
you think they should have; |
| • |
the
investigation undertaken by the police has, in
your view, not been sufficiently thorough or rigorous; |
| • |
the
police have failed to keep you sufficiently informed
of their investigation; |
| • |
the
police are unwilling to undertake further inquiries
despite your request |
It
always best to try and resolve your concerns by first
raising the issues with senior officers of the police.
We
would suggest if you have a concern of this kind,
that you should contact us for advice over the matter
and assistance in resolving the issues with the relevant
police force. We have experience in doing this in
numerous occasions. Click

here for details of our Advice Service.
However,
if you do not wish to contact us, we would suggest
that you wrote directly to the Head of CID of the
relevant police force.
If
you are not satisfied with the response, then you
can complain to the Police Complaints Authority
