“PCM admitted he used his discretion in dealing with the deceased and did not make a PNN ,complete a mental welfare proforma report, or reported the incident to any other officer on the night”
3. insufficient training on policy implementation
“IV) Procedures appear to be in place to deal with such incidents. Please explain what training your officers receive to deal with such circumstances and are you satisfied your officers are sufficiently aware of the said policy document and act upon it”
