The Complaint
The complaint in this case arose after the applicant contacted the police to report the conduct of his neighbours. We have reviewed the handling of a single complaint, namely that:
- Police Scotland have failed to take any action against the applicant’s neighbours in response to anti-social behaviour and drug dealing.
Police Scotland’s Decision
Police Scotland recorded that the applicant’s complaint was not upheld.
Our Findings
We have found that Police Scotland did not handle the applicant’s complaint to a reasonable standard.
Consequently, we have made a recommendation. In summary, we have recommended that Police Scotland conducts further necessary and proportionate enquiry into the complaint. Police Scotland should then provide the applicant with a further response.
Our recommendation should be implemented by Police Scotland within two months of the date of this report.
