But an expression of dissatisfaction is a complaint for the purposes of this Part—
a
where it relates to conduct of a person serving with the police, only if the person in question is a person falling within subsection (1B);
b
in any other case, only if the person in question has been adversely affected by the matter about which dissatisfaction is expressed.

In relation to an expression of dissatisfaction that relates to conduct of a person serving with the police, a person falls within this subsection if the person is—
a
a person who claims to be the person in relation to whom the conduct took place;
b

In this Part “conduct matter” means (subject to the following provisions of this section, section 28A and any regulations made under it, ... and any regulations made by virtue of section 23(2)(d)) any matter which is not and has not been the subject of a complaint but in the case of which there is an indication (whether from the circumstances or otherwise) that a person serving with the police may have—
a
committed a criminal offence; or
b
behaved in a manner which would justify the bringing of disciplinary proceedings.
2A
In this Part “
death or serious injury matter

any circumstances (other than those which are or have been the subject of a complaint or which amount to a conduct matter)—

a
it was only because the person in question was physically present, or sufficiently nearby, when the conduct took place or the effects occurred that he was able to see or hear the conduct or its effects; or

4A
In this section, “
the person in question
” means the person expressing dissatisfaction or the person on whose behalf dissatisfaction is being expressed.
5

a
he acquired his knowledge of that conduct in a manner which would make him a competent witness capable of giving admissible evidence of that conduct in criminal proceedings; or
b
he has in his possession or under his control anything which would in any such proceedings constitute admissible evidence of that conduct.
6
For the purposes of this Part a person is not to be taken to have authorised another person to make a complaint on his behalf unless—

that other person is for the time being designated for the purposes of this Part by the Director General as a person through whom complaints may be made, or he is of a description of persons so designated; or
