The investigation of offences is an operational matter for the policeĀ· The Home Office has set no rank requirement for such decisions, which would be a matter for chief officers on a case by case basis

We do not centrally hold any information relating to complaints from alleged victims of Worboys. In 2010, the Independent Police Complaints Committee published a report on police handling of the case, which can be found at http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20100406135201/http://www.ipcc.gov.uk/worboys_commissioners_report.pdf The report made a number of recommendations for how the Metropolitan Police should improve its response to victims of sexual offences.
