Authority Levels to the Stop and Suspend investigations with Official Crime Reference Numbers

SJA Grove made this Freedom of Information request to Police Scotland This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was successful.

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
