Are there witness statements with the case report and did the cops accurately reflect what those witnesses said? I keep reading allegations from other members here that the cops are lying in their report yet I haven't seen any evidence on how those conclusions were reached. An incident not witnessed by the officers should have statements from the witnesses that were there with their report.

What do you mean? I just have statements in the report made by the officer quoting the witnesses.

I personally avoid P.C. arrests when they aren't "on view" unless I have written/signed statements from the witnesses. That is to cover my butt just in case they "forget" or something like that when it is time to prosecute the case. I'm surprised the cops in your incident apparently don't have witness statements filled by the complainants.

On the last page, it says, "Victim letter completed: Yes." Is that it? I dont have it.

I've not heard a witness statement called a victim letter before. That sounds like something else.

Oh, okay, something I missed before. It says, "List of written statements obtained and attached:" Its blank. So I guess he didn't.
