Police IOPC referrals

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.23.030588

I note you seek access to the following information:

PREVIOUS REQUEST 01/FOI/23/029246:
I'm writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act (2000) to ask that you please disclose to me how many IOPC referrals have been sent from your force between 1 Jan 2017 and 31 August 2022.

I'd also like to know what percentage of these were
1) complaints
2) DSI referrals, or
3) RCMs.
I would specifically (you may have to ignore DSI referrals for this) like to know how many of these were relating to matters of potential misconduct, and the amount of them that were upheld, and what action this resulted in. If you are unable to achieve this within the cost limit, then I would like the same but for the last three years up to the end date (2020, 2021, 2022).

I've already received information from the IOPC regarding the amount of referrals there have been overall during this timeframe, and they've instructed me that the best way to find out more information as to the nature and status of them would be to contact the individual forces, which I am now doing.

NEW REQUEST:
thank you for this, it's really helpful data, could you just explain for me how many (in number form) fall into the categories of DSI, RCM, or other complaints, or the degree of crossover with the RCMs listed please?

Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

Type	Percentage
Public Complaints	1161
Conduct Matters	1862
DSI*	1859

*DSI figures do not include data for 2017 as these were previously recorded differently
