Confusing police email & being “recorded as a suspect
I got an email saying an assault allegation was made against me, then another saying “no further action” but I’m still “recorded as a suspect.” They never asked for my version. How is that possible?



It’s unfortunately possible. Police can record you as a suspect based solely on someone’s allegation, even if they later decide no further action is needed. In many cases, they close the file without interviewing the accused, especially if the evidence doesn’t support moving forward. But the “suspect” marker can still remain on internal systems, which feels unfair and confusing. If you want clarity or removal, you can usually request a data review or speak with a criminal defense solicitor. Firms like https://www.sjkplawfirm.com can explain your options and check what’s actually on record.
