The Terms of Reference (ToR) for the review of investigatory arrangements following police use of force and police driving are broad and encompass the interests of both police officers and the public. They make it clear that the review will seek to understand whether the current framework serves to maintain public confidence in the police, in particular for those impacted by police use of force. This includes whether individuals are held to account appropriately. We are seeking to gather evidence on the issues covered in the ToR, from a wide range of stakeholders, including third parties.

The Department is fully aware of the Casey Review and it was highlighted in representations made to the Home Secretary by the Independent Office for Police Conduct during the development of the Review’s ToR
