Two outlets report that the police watchdog is seeing a rise in the number of complaints-related reviews, alongside an increase in judicial review activity, with members of the public increasingly using AI tools to help draft complaint letters. The reports indicate that AI-assisted submissions are contributing to higher volumes of requests seeking review of police complaint handling decisions, and to more court challenges through judicial review. While the specific scale of the increase and the underlying reasons for each individual case are not detailed in the provided excerpts, both sources link the trend to a growth in AI-enabled correspondence rather than a change in the watchdog’s core role. The coverage also suggests that the watchdog’s workload is affected not only by the initial complaints process but also by subsequent review steps that can follow dissatisfaction with outcomes. Both articles frame the development as an operational pressure point for the complaints oversight system, as more submissions enter the review pipeline and more cases proceed to judicial review.
