On 9 July 2008 the applicant was detained at his home by officers from Strathclyde Police and taken to a police station. While detained there the applicant made five complaints about the police. On 13 October 2008 the applicant made a further three complaints.
Of the eight complaints reviewed, the Commissioner has decided that all but one were handled in a reasonable manner. The Commissioner has recommended that Strathclyde Police write to the applicant providing him with additional information so that he is properly informed of the reasons for the decision not to pursue misconduct proceedings against one its officers.
The Commissioner has also identified as a leaning point the need for all statements provided by police and other witnesses interviewed in connection with a complaints investigation to be dated. This follows a number of similar decisions made previously on this issue.
