A Police Family Liaison Officer (FLO) is a role of an officer either of uniformed or plain-clothed Criminal Investigation Department (CID) role, although some companies and schools have FLO's the best known and most used are of the Police's. Every territorial police force has a pool of trained FLOs, FLOs who have passed their probationary period are then allowed to fulfill the role. The FLO is assigned to the family by the Senior Investigative Officer (SIO). FLOs are usually assigned any situation where a point of contact between the family and the police is deemed essential, such as any murder investigation, or a case of a missing child. The UK Police Service has since 1999 assigned FLOs to assist families who have lost relatives in terrorist attacks or major disasters. The FLO is key to gathering Ante Mortem data which will assist in the identification and repatriation of loved ones. They also keep the family updated on the progress of the investigation. The key drivers for Police Family Liaison in the United Kingdom have come from the Public Inquiries into the death of Stephen Lawrence (Report published Feb 1999) and the Marchioness disaster on the River Thames (Report published 2001). FLOs need excellent communication skills as they are often the person who reports investigative advances in the case. Sometimes the FLOs will give a statement to the media if the family do not wish to. == Non-police FLOs == Some Private, fee-paying schools have FLOs, although the position differs from the one in the UK Police Service, but is still based on the same guidelines of friendly and approachable staff who is the first point of contact between the authorities and the other party. British Armed Forces also have Royal Military Police trained FLOs for families of killed service men/women. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「family liaison officer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
