Professional Standards Department (12628_17)

1. What is the remit/ purpose and scope of work undertaken by the West Midlands Police Professional Standards Unit; as it relates to the Police Reform Act 2002?

It would be appreciated if you would answer the following two (2) questions, with a simple `YES’ or `NO’ answer as explanations are not necessary. 

2. Are West Midlands Police Professional Standards Department staff, immune from complaints made under the Police Reform Act 2002?

3. Where West Midlands Police Professional Standards Department staff have undertaken a complaint investigation,  and it is subsequently found that their submitted final report is misleading, factually inaccurate and has material omissions, would a complaint made against those particular staff for Honesty and Integrity, be deemed `vexatious, oppressive or otherwise an abuse of the procedures for dealing with complaints?
