PFD Monitor interpretation

Failure to communicate recent suicide threat information to arresting and custody staff

Wider context from the report

“Shortly prior to his arrest, other officers took the complainant and her mother to Spring Lodge for an ABE/WVI interview. On route, ████████ Mother ████████ told the officers that Mr Holdsworth had said he would 'kill himself if released' This information was, I am told, later added to the incident log but was not drawn to the attention of either the arresting officers or the custody staff or Custody Sergeant. There is not criticism of the risk assessment procedure undertaken by the custody staff when Mr Holdsworth was booked in at Lincoln station but it's clear that they lacked the significant information that Mr Holdsworth had very recently threatened to kill himself. I am not sure what time the incident log was updated (I have not seen it) but I appreciate that it is impracticable to suggest that custody staff examine incident logs regularly because of the pressure of time and work. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Unreliable communication of detainee safety-critical risk information.
