4. Police The Police failed to provide this follow up review, despite repeated requests, with the information sought in a timely manner and in a format which allowed for ready analysis. Regrettably, this means that I am unable to assess if and how recommendations made in 2017 (see appendix 1) had been acted upon by the Police. I am concerned by the inability to follow-up on Police custody suites and the use of restraints by the Police, and by the lack of accountability and transparency that suggests. Ultimately, this may be prejudicial to ensuring that those in Police care are treated with respect to their inherent dignity. 48
