Giles York resignation
Dear Sussex Police,
Some mystery remains behind the premature resignation of Giles York which appears to have come completely out of the blue.
It is rumour in the community and I seek clarification on the following:
Was Giles York involved in an incident prior to resignation with his Police driver, where the pair stumbled across an incident, the pair made an arrest of a person, the person taken to custody and subsequently died prematurely?
Is the IOPC involved in this death in custody report?
Will an investigation follow by Sussex Police in to Giles York and his actions / inactions and any cause/effect on the premature death?
Why has a resignation been permitted if an investigation has commenced?
Yours faithfully,
Tom
