一支被指控存在“严重腐败”的警察部门宣布将在当地调查这些指控。
A police force accused of "serious corruption" has announced it will investigate the allegations locally.
萨里警察表示，警察行为独立监督办公室（IOPC）已建议其专业标准部门可在审查后调查这些投诉。
Surrey Police said the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) had advised that its own professional standards department could look into the complaints following a review.
此事源于道克和霍利选区国会议员克里斯·科格兰指控该部门在对萨里郡议会SEND官员的公职刑事不当行为调查过程中向嫌疑人泄露消息。
It comes after Chris Coghlan, the MP for Dorking and Horley, alleged the force tipped off suspects during a criminal misconduct in public office investigation into SEND officers at Surrey County Council.
萨里警察称，它对员工行为的任何指控都“极其重视”，并补充称其内部调查目前正在进行中。
Surrey Police says it takes any allegation about staff conduct "extremely seriously". It added that its internal investigation was now under way.
警方发言人表示：“我们将在适当时机提供此次调查结果的进一步更新。”“在调查进行期间，不宜发表进一步评论。”
"We will provide further updates as to the outcome of this investigation in due course," said a police spokesperson. "It would be inappropriate to comment any further whilst it is ongoing".
科格兰称，他在9月曾向IOPC反映担忧，认为萨里警察在同一天关闭两起涉嫌公职不当行为的调查存在问题。这两起调查均涉及萨里郡议会的SEND官员。
'Exceptionally serious' Coghlan said he raised concerns with the IOPC in September over Surrey Police's decision to close two separate investigations into alleged misconduct in public office on the same day. Both investigations relate to SEND officers at Surrey County Council.
SEND官员通常负责为地方当局评估、管理和支持有特殊教育需求和残疾的儿童和青少年。这位自由民主党议员此前曾称这些指控“极其严重”。
SEND officers typically handle the assessment, administration and support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities for local authorities. The Liberal Democrat MP earlier had called the allegations "exceptionally serious".
他表示，涉及的家庭已经经历了极其艰难的过程，并且“需要确信警察行为得当，证据得到妥善处理，且关闭这些调查的决定未受不当影响”。
He says the families involved have "already endured an extremely difficult process" and "need confidence that the police acted properly, that evidence was handled appropriately, and that the decision to close these investigations was made without improper influence".
