Except I doubt the police ever go back and confirm that the case is
"completed". Also even if the original offender has been tried and found
guilty, the Criminal Offences Review Board have 7 years during which it
might be re-opened. You could take a view that you, the public
authority, will lose all corporate knowledge of the enquiry at some
standard time after the original request, assuming a suitable time can
be devised.
And then there's keeping this stuff for audit purposes, however long
that might be.
