Contacting the police

We have decided to get in touch with the police in order to assist our media project, finding out about the process that reporting rape follows, what the victim undergoes, and the facilities that are used. Here we are going to post records of all communication with the police.

Dear Inspector Spooner
My name is Charlie Rushworth and I am a second year student at Barnsley College, currently studying A Levels at A2, one of which is Media Studies. As part of our coursework it is necessary to create a 5 minute short film on a subject of our choosing. Another student and I have chosen to do a short film about the consequences of rape. I am contacting you to request a meeting with you or someone on your team to discuss the process that follows a report of rape. To ensure accuracy and authenticity in our project we would like to be clear about the way in which the initial complaint is handled and how a victim makes a formal identification of the suspect where the rapist is not known to the victim. I will ring you in a few days to discuss it in further detail unless you wish to contact me first.

Hi Lynsey
This is Charlie Rushworth. Today I received you email dated the 29th October. Basically, me and my partner are both media students at Barnsley college, creating a short film about rape and its consequences for the victim. However, due to a lack of knowledge, we have run into some difficulty with the script. We would like to know primarily about the initial phone conversation when a victim calls to report an incident of rape, specifically what the operator says to the victim. We would also like to know about the process that is undertaken when there are multiple suspects in a case of rape and how the victim is taken about identifying them. In the script we have written in a typical police suspect parade/line up, and we would like to know if this is really what happens or if the suspects are identified otherwise. Finally, we would be interested in perhaps seeing some of the facilities, such as the rape suite, so that we can create as accurate a set as possible.
What would be the best way to contact you from here on? We need to begin filming quite soon, so the sooner we can set something in motion, the better.
Thanks.
Charlie Rushworth

Charlie,

in answer to your questions:
1) i'm not 100% sure what staff at our communications centre ask victims who initially report. they work to a set 'script' of questions to ask. the information is then entered as an incident and will be sent through to the relevant area team to deal with. for example a rape reported by someone from barnsley will be entered as an incident by call handlers who will ask relevant questions and then pass this to the radio controllers covering barnsley. this will then be flagged up to the supervising officers at that district as well as officers in my unit who will then deal with it. I can find someone for you to speak to from call handling if you want to ask the specifics of them as to exactly what they say etc.

2)the multiple suspects bit is a bit trickier. it would depend on what evidence you have. on many occasions an I'D parade (now done via vdieo with no actual people in the room) is not appropriate as the victim cannot ID from the face of the suspects for various reasons. we often ID people via DNA evidence or other methods etc.

when you have a minute do you want to give me a ring on my mobile, number below. i can always ring you back or you can leave me your contact number and when is best to ring. i can discuss with you whatever you need to know. the Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) is where all medical examinations and victim interviews are conducted and i am sure that i can arrange for you to see that facility.
