Misconduct and criminal outcomes

The proceedings in this section took place in 2023/24. Our investigation may have been completed in the same period or before this.

The timeliness of proceedings is not under the IOPC’s direction. This is decided by the appropriate authority or the CPS.

Of the 104 proceedings which took place in 2023/24, 49 took place within 12 months of our final report.

Misconduct and criminal proceedings may conclude several months or even years after an IOPC investigation was completed. Consequently, the outcomes presented in the previous section (investigation decisions) and those in this section (proceedings outcomes) reflect different time periods and should not be directly compared.
