Abstract
This article discusses the potential impact of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 (CMCHA) in the context of the Act's application to a police force for deaths caused by a gross negligent act or omission of a police officer(s). The article will consider the accountability of a police force as an organisational body, prior and subsequent to the CMCHA. Although legislative innovation is, in part, welcomed in relation to a police force's accountability for deaths in police custody, the focus of the article argues that, all in all, the accountability of a police force is not extended significantly by the CMCHA.
