The Police Super-complaints (Criteria for the Making and Revocation of Designations) Regulations 2018

Regulation 3 of these Regulations specifies the criteria which the Secretary of State must apply in deciding whether to designate a body under section 29B of the Police Reform Act 2002 (c. 30) (“the 2002 Act”). Section 29B was inserted by section 26 of the Policing and Crime Act 2017 (c. 3) (“the 2017 Act”). Bodies designated under section 29B will be able to make super-complaints under section 29A of the 2002 Act (as inserted by section 25 of the 2017 Act), being complaints about systemic issues in policing which are significantly harming the interests of the public.
