Police watchdog to investigate allegation trainee officer was bullied before his death
The police watchdog has launched an investigation into allegations a trainee officer was bullied at work before he was found dead, it was confirmed today.
The 21-year old - described by loved ones as a 'gentle giant' - was a student at Leeds Trinity University and was training with the force at the time of his death. Now the watchdog has said that 'in light of requests for us to reconsider our decision', the case would be subject to a full IOPC probe. The Chief Constable of the force, John Robins, is said to have personally asked for a reconsideration.
"The complainant was informed they would have the right to have the IOPC review the force’s handling of the matter on conclusion of that investigation should they be unsatisfied with the outcome. IOPC Regional Director Emily Barry said: "Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of Anu, as well as all those affected by his death.
