If you are having difficulty in persuading the police to investigate a criminal act(including by its own officers e.g. perjury) you might like to keep in mind the Crouther case CRO.Eliz 654 which governs a refusal by a Constable to pursue a felon.
This case essentially states that when a Constable is on notice of a crime, and refuses to act or investigate, then this becomes "MALFEASCANCE" (an illegal deed by a public official, which must then be corrected)
