CPIA 
The Criminal Procedures and Investigations Act (CPIA) became effective as from the 1st April 1997.  The Act was 
formulated with consultation between the CPS and the Police forces to address some areas within the disclosure 
of unused materials system; it was also designed more with police forces in mind rather than Revenue 
Slide 4 
Departments.  However like PACE the Act has as much force and effect when applied to revenue personnel. 
 
 
 
Officer in charge of the case. 
 
•  The officer with responsibility to retain unused materials and produce the disclosure schedules.  
•  They will have to declare all of the relevant material has been disclosed. 
•  RCM/DRCM 
 
Disclosure Officer.  
Slide 5 
•  The officer carrying out the investigation in the normal course of their duties. 
 
•  Is the person responsible for examining material retained by the police during the investigation; revealing 
material to the prosecutor during the investigation and any criminal proceedings resulting from it, and 
certifying that he/she has done this; and disclosing material to the accused at the request of the prosecutor. 
• DRCM 
 
Slide 6 
Investigating Officer. 
 
•  The officer who is in overall control of the actions of the other persons involved in the case. 
 
•  All investigators have a responsibility for carrying out the duties imposed on them under this code, including 
in particular recording information, and retaining records of information and other material. 
• RCI 
 
An RCI should remember the 3 Rs: Retain, Record and Reveal. The 3 Rs have some bearing on all relevant 
material. 
Slide 7 
What is relevant material?

An example of this is a customer who is reported for no ticket but produces a ticket from earlier on that day.  As 
they may have bought a ticket before and was honest then, this has a bearing on the case. 
 
The basics of the investigations procedures are: 
Your investigation starts – interview a customer 
Slide 8 
Retain relevant material – tickets photocard, RCI notebook, video etc. 
 
Record material – In notebook and appropriate forms 
 
Reveal material to prosecutor - file gets submitted 
 
Primary prosecution disclosure – all material gets revealed to the defence 
 
Defence disclosure – the defence informs you of what their defence is 
Secondary prosecution disclosure – if the case plead is not guilty or will be going to court. 
Defence applications for disclosure – the defence requests to see all material relevant to the case.
