Stephensons are specialists in the field of human rights law and complaints against the police.
Stephensons have pursued numerous complaints via both the Professional Standards Department and additionally, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (Formerly IPCC). The IPCC becomes the IOPC - what are the key changes?
Such complaints will often be the start of any action against the police and may ultimately result in a future civil claim for compensation. It is important that you make contact immediately with us, as most complaints must be lodged within 12 months from the date of the incident.
We routinely progress complaints up to and including gross misconduct proceedings and additionally, we have challenged the police and secured prosecutions in the criminal courts. Again, these are particularly sensitive issues and it is vitally important that you seek to instruct us from the outset.
You may complain about anything you have been dissatisfied with, when being dealt with by the police.
