Abusive
The IOPC are the independent body. The force can self refer if it feels necessary or they can choose to look at it. They automatically become involved in criminal matters or those which involve death/serious injury.Isn't there any independent body for these kind of things? Given the current climate it would be the best thing, surely? In order to maintain public trust.
When you cut to the chase of this though what's the desired outcome? There's nothing criminal about it and it seems easily dealt with in house. The public statement from the force sounds perfectly reasonable
