What I review

This is not legal advice. It is an independent review designed to help you understand whether the process appears sound, where questions arise, and what deserves closer attention.
Common review points
- PACE breaches and procedural errors
- Inconsistencies in statements or records
- Disclosure gaps and missing material
- Weaknesses in process or evidence handling

Clear findings you can use to better understand your position before complaints, correspondence, or further legal discussions.
How it works
A measured process built around clarity.
The aim is simple: help you understand whether procedure and evidence appear to stand up to careful scrutiny, without noise, pressure, or legal jargon.

About the founder
David Edmondson
With over 23 years as a serving UK police officer, David has seen the justice system from the inside — the procedures that protect people and the moments where process falls short.
After leaving policing, he founded Independent Review UK to offer something that was missing: calm, experienced scrutiny of police procedure and evidence, available to anyone who needs it.
David reviews arrest records, custody processes, disclosure, and evidence handling to identify procedural errors, PACE breaches, inconsistencies, and gaps. His findings are delivered in plain English — no legal jargon, no bias, no agenda.
“Most people assume the process was followed. I check if it actually was.”
