This review relates an allegation by the applicant that on 14 April 2007 she awoke to find a gang of youths in her house, where they attacked her son. The applicant has raised three complaints about the initial police response and subsequent investigation that was carried out into her allegation.
The Commissioner has concluded that two out of these three complaints were handled in a reasonable manner, but that an aspect of one (Complaint 2) was not. The Commissioner has therefore recommended that Strathclyde Police apologises to the applicant for the fact that she was never made aware of the force's recognition that the initial investigation could have been conducted better, or that the officers involved had been given advice on this issue.
