A major review into Lancashire Police’s handling of missing mum Nicola Bulley’s disapperance will focus on three key areas of the force’s investigation, the county’s police and crime commissioner has said.
It’s been announced today the independent review into Lancashire Police’s response to Ms Bulley’s case has begun.
Conservative PCC Andrew Snowden said the College of Policing’s review will have three areas of focus – the operational response to the high-risk missing person investigation, press engagement and decision-making surrounding disclosure of sensitive personal information.
Lancashire Police came under heavy criticism after the 45-year-old’s body was pulled from the River Wyre in Lancashire on February 19, more than three weeks after she was last seen on January 27.
The review’s findings and recommendations are set to be made public in the Autumn. The Information Commissioner’s Office will not be taking any enforcement action against Lancashire Police over its disclosure of Ms Bulley’s personal information, the force has said.
