Learning the Lessons Bulletin 4
18th June 2008
Â
The fourth Learning the Lessons Bulletin is published today; you can download the document here. The bulletin will appear in this week's edition of Police Review as well as Police Professional.
This bulletin covers a range of circumstances and operational areas and we have grouped the case summaries to make it easier to find information of particular relevance. The bulletin does, however, have a mini-theme in call-handling, as this is a factor in a large number of the cases.
The issues around call-handling - and the issues arising from the other cases - are outlined in the Recurring Issues section and you can download a table which presents the recurring issues in more visual form.
AÂ feedback form can be downloaded here and we would very much welcome your views.
The website for the Learning the Lessons Committee has now been established independently; the address is
This site will have all published bulletins on it and also has a search facility which we hope will make it possible to find information of use from previous bulletins as well as the current bulletin.
You may find it useful to put a link to this website on your intranet. To assist you with this process, you can download the banners and html code; please do not hesitate to contact Anna Grotte-Wojniak here (anna.wojniak@ipcc.gsi.gov.uk) if your force's web master needs any help.
We hope you find the bulletin both useful and interesting.
