'Police officer PUNCHES drinker in the face during frenzied tussle to arrest him' Daily Mail
Dear South Wales Police,
From the Daily Mail:
“This is the moment police punched a drinker in the face during a frenzied tussle to arrest him after he called the officer a 'd**khead'.
…
A spokesman said: 'While at the premises a man became abusive and aggressive and, as a result, PAVA - an incapacitant spray - was discharged.
'A 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly and assaulting a police officer by spitting. He has been released on conditional bail pending further enquiries.
'We are aware of footage being circulated on social media and the matter is being considered by the force's Professional Standards Department.'"

1. After the Professional Standards Department has considered the matter, where will its conclusions be publicly available?
2. Please provide the number of complaints against officers and civilian staff the Professional Standards Department is currently considering.
3. Please provide information available to officers about how and when they should use PAVA.
4. Please provide the number of times PAVA was used by officers during the most recent quarter for which statistics are available.
Yours faithfully,
J Roberts
