The Police (Complaints and Misconduct) (Amendment) Regulations 2006
Paragraphs (1) and (4) to (9) of regulation 2 of these Regulations amend the Police (Complaints and Misconduct) Regulations 2004 consequent on the introduction by the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 of a third category of matter over which the Independent Police Complaints Commission has jurisdiction, namely a death or serious injury matter (referred to in the legislation as a “DSI matter”). These matters arise where a person has died or has been seriously injured following some form of contact with the police, but where there has been no complaint and there is no indication that a criminal or disciplinary offence has been committed and so the case does not come within either of the two existing categories of matters (complaints and conduct matters).
