The police don't have to investigate every "crime" reported but in this case they are working under the misapprehention that it is outside of their remit. As this situation has now been clarified they should investigate and the idea that there has to be "a" victim is untrue as many offences don't need a specific victim - public order offences for example.

Raising a case with the PCC will allow the authorities to inform the relevant officers of their responsibilty in this matter - it does require disciplinary action so much as someone to take responsibility.

I have friends and family who work for BT - my late father worked for them his whole working life and reached a fairly senior position - but it doesn't stop me from persuing this matter.
