Q

What happens of the only person able to provide stage 2 basic facts is a KPW?

A
  • offer them the opportunity to take legal advice or consult a federation/staff association or trade union representative before obtaining the information
  • be aware of the need to take only basic information

17
Q

What is stage 3?

A

Personal initial account.

KPWs provide account before going off duty.

18
Q

What is stage 4?

A

Detailed accounts, interviews and statements

Usually after at least 48 hours.

19
Q

Can a KPW view reference material to assist them with their accounts?

A

The PIM has responsibility for determining whether an officer/staff member may refer to an item of reference material when providing their accounts and should make these decisions in consultation with the IIA and IIO/PSD.

It may be appropriate for a KPW to view or listen to other types of reference material, such as log information, contemporaneous audio or written notes, before providing a personal initial account. Such material may have captured information that helps them accurately recall relevant and essential information.This should be agreed by the PIM in consultation with the IIA and IIO/PSD.

20
Q

Should a KPW view their body worn before their stage 3?

A

There is no legal restriction on a KPW viewing their own body-worn video footage prior to making their personal initial account. The potential impact on the individual’s perception and recollection of events, however, makes viewing such footage inadvisable prior to completing the personal initial account.

21
Q

When is it appropriate for a KPW to view their Body worn video?

A

As a matter of general practice, a KPW to a DSI should generally be permitted to view their own body-worn video footage prior to completing their detailed account, as this may reveal differences between what they initially recalled and reported, and what was recorded by the body-worn video. In such a situation, they may then be able explain any discrepancy identified in their detailed account.

22
Q

Should a KPW view another KPW body worn prior to stage 4?

A

There may be circumstances where it is appropriate for one KPW to view another person’s body-worn video footage, for example, where two officers/members of staff were acting in close proximity and one body-worn video did not record.

23
Q

Who decides whether KPWs are separated or not?

A

Oscar 1, where possible with the PIM.

The PIM or chief officer will review and may override the decision or may decide to separate them at a later stage.

24
Q

What are the 3 considerations for separating?

A
  1. Is it safe?
  2. Is it necessary? (Criminal, misconduct or inappropriate)
  3. Is it practical? (Location/numbers)
