The Anti-Corruption Office completed the 60 initial investigations outstanding at the end of 1970 and continued the 15 further investigations begun in that year. 176 long term investigations begun in earlier years were continued and 15 new such investigations were commenced in 1971. The Target Committee Report for this year referred to ‘an additional 59 allied investigations' being started. These arose from enquiries into complaints under investigation in the course of the year.

The Anti-Corruption Office completed the 41 initial investigations outstanding at the end of 1971 and continued the 23 further investigations begun in that year. 191 long term investigations begun in earlier years were continued and 47 new investigations of this type were commenced largely as a result of the decision that "C" Division should examine individual officers suspected of having unexplainable wealth. The discrepancy between the Target Committee's Report of 1250 cases and that of 1167 reports given above results from a number of reports referring to more than one suspect and additional suspects arising in the course of current investigations.
