The applicant was convicted in 2004 of failing to stop at a red traffic sign. He made a number of complaints to Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary (D&G) in relation to the incident, following which the applicant applied to the Commissioner's office seeking a review of the way in which these were handled. Only one of those complaints is dealt with in this report, namely that D&G failed to provide the applicant access to a police vehicle in order that a reconstruction of the incident could be carried out.
The Commissioner found that although D&G responded reasonably to the applicant's complaint about the decision not to hold a reconstruction, it did not specifically address the complaint regarding access to a police vehicle. Accordingly, the Commissioner recommends that D&G sends a further letter to the applicant informing him of the reasons for its decision not to supply the car.
