IPCC Investigation

The Independent Police Complaints Commission has agreed to manage and direct the investigation into the complaint about the gunpoint arrest and incareration of Victor Frederick.

The family received an apology and a partial explanation following their participation in a press conference. But none of us have been satisfied that other innocent people will not face a similar ordeal in the future. I sincerely hope that that the IPCC investigation is thorough and that it provides the answers and assurances we need to ensure that what happened to Victor and his family is not repeated again.

"Unreserved apology"

Victor Frederick has received an "unreserved apology" from South Wales Police in a letter hand delivered after the press conference on Wednesday. I'm glad that a full and unreserved apology has now been made, even if it has taken five weeks. We all still expect answers to the questions raised in my letter to the Chief Constable. We must be assured that this will not happen again to any other family or individual in the South Wales Police area.
