Trooper Interview Investigation Fairness

Summary

If a trooper was not interviewed during an internal affairs investigation, it may breach procedural fairness, potentially invalidating the findings. Relevant case law, such as R v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, ex p Blackburn [1968] 2 QB 118 and R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, ex p Doody [1994] 1 AC 531, supports the necessity of fair hearings and opportunities to present ones case. It is advisable to revisit the investigation to ensure compliance with procedural fairness standards. Consulting with a legal advisor for specific guidance is recommended.
