Dear Mr George

I refer to your e-mails of 30 October and 1 November 2009 to the Cabinet Secretaries for Justice and Education respectively in which you raise specific concerns about the case of Hollie Greig. I am aware of your previous correspondence with Ian Fleming, from the Police and Community Safety Directorate in the Scottish Government and prior to that with the First Minister. I have been asked to reply.

You will of course appreciate that I cannot go into the specifics of any case or discuss the circumstances and grounds for any decisions taken either by the police or the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service. Indeed the actions of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service are matters for the Lord Advocate, and the actions of the police are matters for the Chief Constable. The Chief Constable alone is responsible for police operations. Neither the First Minister nor Scottish Ministers have powers to direct Chief Constables on the enforcement of the law or the deployment of officers (although the Lord Advocate has powers to do so).

As you would expect public protection is a matter for the police. Agreed risk assessment procedures are in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of any individual who is thought to be in a threatening situation. From all that you say Grampian Police is alert to the concerns you have raised and will no doubt use any intelligence gathered to inform their next steps, including any action necessary to prevent crime.

It is clear to me from the terms of your correspondence that you remain dissatisfied with the responses to your enquiries. Whilst such expressions of dissatisfaction are always a matter of concern, I hope you will find the foregoing information helpful.

Yours faithfully

Vicky Wilson
