The complaints in this case surround police action taken on 22 November 2007 when the complainer was cautioned and charged with a breach of the peace.
During its investigation into the complaints, Grampian Police obtained a signed statement from the complainer withdrawing them and stating that Grampian Police had been "courteous and professional at all times".
The Commissioner found Grampian Police's handling of the complaints to have been reasonable. Indeed, the Commissioner has commended Grampian Police for its handling of the complainer following the withdrawal of his complaints. However, the Commissioner has identified as a learning point the need for Grampian Police to avoid involving officers who are potentially the subject of complaints in the handling of these complaints.
