National Investigation Service
The question
To ask the Solicitor General, how many times the Crown Prosecution Service has been contacted by the police wanting to charge people following investigations conducted by the National Investigation Service in the latest period for which data is available.
Answered by Ellie Reeves
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) engaged directly with the National Investigation Service (NATIS) and therefore did not have any communication with police on these matters, unless the police were otherwise assisting NATIS on a case.
A manual count of cases shows that the CPS advised on 40 cases investigated by NATIS between June 2021 and November 2024.
