Authority Levels to the Stop and Suspend investigations with Official Crime Reference Numbers
Dear Police Scotland,
Members of the public in Scotland who perceive that a crime has been committed against them report the matter to Police Scotland who log the incident with a four digit reference number (e.g. 2856) and the date of that report (e.g. 12-11-2018).
What is the minimum level of authority (i.e. rank) within Police Scotland required to SUSPEND (i.e. place a delay on) an investigation around a reported crime with a crime reference number (e.g. 2856 of 12-11-2018)?
What is the minimum level of authority (i.e. rank) within Police Scotland required to STOP (i.e. put an end to) an investigation around a reported crime with a crime reference number (e.g. 2856 of 12-11-2018)?
Yours faithfully,
SJA Grove
