2016-08-14 | Police chief 'told officers to arrest first and investigate later'

'The minutes record: "The chief constable was keen to ensure officers were robustly pursuing offenders. '

'Lynne Owens, who is head of the National Crime Agency, is said to have made the changes when she was chief constable for Surrey Police. '

'Officers tended to receive an allegation then wait to make an arrest after gathering evidence. '

'Deputy chief constable Nick Ephgrave, who now leads the force, told the meeting that the tactics had raised the rape detection rate from six per cent to 15.8 per cent in a year. '

'Surrey police also said the timing of an arrest was considered on a "case by case basis."'
