Crown Office Procurator Fiscal Service


Answer

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service is a part of the Scottish Government.

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) is responsible for the prosecution of crime in Scotland, the investigation of sudden or suspicious deaths, and the investigation of complaints against the police. They work closely with our partners in the criminal justice system to help make Scotland a safer place.


Answer

The first step is to write to the District Fiscal responsible for your area. Their contact details can be found on the COPFS website. You need to include in the letter as much detail of the case as possible, the name of the accused, the court dealing with the case, the type and date of the offence and the name of the investigating officer.

If you are not satisfied with the reply, they will advise you of how you can pursue the matter further.
