Thirty months.
No charge.
No timetable.
Under investigation by Surrey Police since March 2024. No charge, no charging decision, and no clear timetable for the outstanding work. This site publishes the correspondence and asks one question: how is the investigation being held accountable?
What the record shows
Three moments from the correspondence that define this investigation.
The apology
February 2026: the Chief Constable apologised for delay and promised closer supervision. The correspondence is published here.
The referral
July 2026: after an internal review found further work, the file went to the Crown Prosecution Service.
The wait
September 2026: the CPS requires further information. Obtaining it, police say, will not be quick. No timeframe given.
The chronology
A ledger of dates — each entry a line item.
| Date | Entry |
|---|---|
| 2024-03 | Investigation begins. No charge since. |
| 2026-02 | Chief Constable apologises for delay; closer supervision promised, via my MP's office. |
| 2026-07-20 | Internal review identifies further work before CPS referral. |
| 2026-07-24 | File sent to the Crown Prosecution Service. |
| 2026-09-23 | CPS requests further information. No timeframe given. |
What I am asking Surrey Police to do
A substantive written response within 14 days, addressing four points.
Responsibility
Identify the senior officer responsible for overseeing progress.
Timetable
Explain whether the outstanding work has a timetable and, if not, why one cannot presently be given.
Review
Confirm the next supervisory review date and when I will receive a meaningful update.
Complaints
Explain the current position and anticipated next steps in resolving my outstanding complaints.
The question an apology does not answer
I accept that investigations can be complex, that further enquiries may be necessary, and that some information cannot be disclosed while an investigation continues. But none of that answers whether the investigation has involved avoidable delay, whether promised supervision has been effective, or what will now be done to secure progress. An apology followed by further uncertainty is not sufficient accountability.
An apology acknowledges a problem. Accountable action must follow it.
