Dear Dr Panigrahi,

I am writing to acknowledge your request for a review of the outcome of your complaint CO/915/23. It is the role of the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) to determine whether the handling of your complaint was reasonable and proportionate; and if not, to make recommendations to Kent Police to redress any concerns.

Firstly, we need to ensure that a number of key criteria are in place before we consider your request. We must ensure that:

The OPCC is the correct body to review your complaint;

That you have the right to request a review;

That the request is valid; that is, it contains all the necessary details for us to consider the review;

That it has been made within the 28 day-limit, or if not, there is a valid reason for the request to be outside of this period.

I should also clarify that it is not the role of the OPCC to make a judgement on legal issues, or operational matters such as on-going or concluded criminal cases. Operational policing decisions are not within the remit of this review. It is solely our role to judge whether Kent Police have acted reasonably and proportionately in trying to resolve your complaint. In your case it is to assess whether the decision to take no further action was reasonable and proportionate in all of the circumstances.

Please note that this office is a separate entity to Kent Police, our role in law is the review of your complaint outcome. We are not the owners of the data/information provided to us for the purpose of this review. If you consider it appropriate to raise a Subject Access Request in relation to any data or information which has been collated by or on behalf of Kent Police, then all requests must be made to Kent Police direct via the Public Disclosure Team who can be contacted via email at public.disclosure@Kent.police.uk

I will review the points that you have raised and aim to provide you with a response within 40 working days from the date of this acknowledgement ie I will aim to respond to you in full by 30th October 2023.

Please note that this may not always be possible and if there is likely to be any delay I will notify you accordingly.

Yours sincerely,

OPCC Secretariat

Dear Sirs

I am not sure who selected out these sentences as my complaint; and ignore the substance of the complaint filed through the independent Office for Police Conduct with elaborations as attached: ToPSDKentPolice(no subject) OneReportNeeded19Aug2023.docx; and as such it is totally unsatisfactory way of dealing with my complaint.

Notwithstanding, I note the options that you have given me for an internal review of the specific matter to deal with the Conditions of Bail: as follows:

In writing to:

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner

South Block

Kent Police

Sutton Road

Maidstone

ME15 9BZ

You have 28 days, starting the day after this letter is dated, to submit an application for review.

I wish this Appeal to the Police and Crime Commissioner to be implemented immediately and will pursue all other avenues open to me including visiting the Magistrates Court as another option because I am innocent of all the scurrilous allegations of stalking and malicious communications that are alleged as the offences that I am a suspect on.

Yours sincerely

Dr Shantanu Panigrahi
