The Police (Dispensation from Requirement to Investigate Complaints) Regulations 1990
These Regulations amend the Police (Anonymous, Repetitious Etc. Complaints) Regulations 1985 with effect from Ist July 1990 to enable the Police Complaints Authority to dispense with the requirements of Part IX of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (which relates to the investigation of complaints about the conduct of police officers) in a wider range of circumstances. The additional circumstances are where a complaint is repetitious following the informal resolution of a previous similar complaint; where a complaint is vexatious; or where there has been unreasonable delay in making a complaint.
