Essex Police says it is not taking any further action against journalist Allison Pearson after an investigation into a social media post by the Daily Telegraph columnist.
The investigation has been closed, but there will be an independent review of the force’s handling of the matter, a police statement said.
The force previously defended its actions after Pearson said she was left "dumbstruck" by a visit to her home on Remembrance Sunday.
The visit was to arrange a time to do an interview as part of an investigation into alleged incitement to racial hatred, following a complaint from a member of the public, the force said.
