Hi,
well, I haven’t been given any explanation.
The PSD mix the new cases up with the first case.
This is harassment I think.

Dear Mr Ribsskog
Thank you for contacting the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
The IPCC is required to forward all complaints to the ‘appropriate authority’ which in the majority of cases is the Professional Standards Department (PSD) of the police force concerned. The PSD will consider how your complaint should be handled, including whether they must ‘record’ your complaint. Someone from the force may contact you at this stage in order to determine what you want to happen.
The decision whether to ‘record’ a complaint is about whether your complaint is able to be recorded and handled under the Police Reform Act 2002.
It is evident from your email correspondence that you have already contacted the Northumbria Police PSD, and so it is not necessary for the IPCC to take any action concerning your correspondence.
If you want to make a formal complaint about the conduct of a police officer or member of police staff, the PSD has a duty to ‘record’ it in this way. There are some circumstances where, even where you want to make a formal complaint, a complaint may not be recorded under the Police Reform Act 2002. This may simply be because the police are obliged to deal with it in some other way. The PSD will tell you if they are going to record your complaint and will explain why they have decided not to record it if this is the case. If your complaint is not recorded and you disagree with the explanation for this decision, you have a right of appeal to the IPCC.

Steven Ireland
