Click here for summaries of investigation reports sent by the Police Ombudsman to the Secretary of State, the Chief Constable and the Policing Board. These are known as Regulation 20 reports. They include reports on:
- the use of firearms by police officers
- fatal traffic collisions in which police have been involved
- the deaths of people while in police custody, or people whose last contact was with a police officer
* Please note that some cases in these categories may also be accounted
for in other sections of the table. An illustration: if the Director
of Public Prosecutions directs that there is insufficient evidence
to prosecute an officer, the case may result in and be recorded
under "Referred to PSNI: Disciplinary" and may also be
one of those cases which recommended a change on policy and be recorded
under "Referred to PSNI: Changes in policy."
