Dear Mr Smith

Can you please clarify if you mean how many disipline and complaints
issued have gone on to be a complaint issue rather than a conduct issue
Regards
Maggie Young
Dear Staffordshire Police,
To clarify my request, I asked how many complaints recorded as direction and control matters (ie outside of the PRA 2002 definition) were subsequently re-recorded as conduct matters (ie with PRA 2002).
Many thanks.
Yours faithfully,
Graham Smith
