44 Investigations directed by the Director General

(1) This regulation applies where the Director General has determined that the Director General should direct the investigation by the chief executive of any complaint, recordable conduct matter or DSI matter. (2) On being given notice of that determination, the chief executive must, if the chief executive has not already done so— (a) appoint an officer to investigate the complaint or matter; or (b) if the chief executive is of the opinion that, having regard to regulation 37, it is not possible to appoint an officer to investigate the complaint or matter, make arrangements with a chief officer or the Director General of the National Crime Agency to have a person serving with the police or a person serving with the National Crime Agency appointed to investigate the complaint or matter. (3) The Director General may require that no appointment is made under paragraph (2) unless the Director General has given notice to the chief executive that the Director General approves the person whom the chief executive proposes to appoint. (4) Where at any time the Director General is not satisfied with the person investigating, the Director General may require the chief executive, as soon as reasonably practicable after being required to do so, to— (a) appoint a different officer, or make arrangements for another person to be appointed in accordance with paragraph (2)(b), to investigate the complaint or matter; and (b) notify the Director General of the person selected. (5) Paragraph (4) applies whether the person investigating was appointed— (a) before the chief executive was given notice of the Director General’s determination that the Director General should direct the investigation by the chief executive; (b) under paragraph (2) (including where the appointment was approved by the Director General in accordance with paragraph (3)); or (c) under paragraph (6)(a). (6) Where a selection made in pursuance of a requirement under paragraph (4) has been notified to the Director General— (a) the chief executive must appoint that person to investigate the complaint or matter if, but only if, the Director General notifies the chief executive that the Director General approves the appointment of that person; (b) if the Director General notifies the chief executive that the Director General does not approve the appointment of that person, the chief executive must make another selection in accordance with paragraph (4). (7) The person appointed to investigate the complaint or matter shall— (a) in relation to that investigation, be under the direction and control of the Director General; and (b) keep the Director General informed of the progress of the investigation.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
