The IPCC is investigating claims a former inspector acted on behalf of Jimmy Savile before he faced a police interview.
The allegations refer to a then West Yorkshire Police officer having inappropriately contacted Surrey Police, the Independent Police Complaints Commission said.
It comes a day after transcripts of a 40-minute interview detailing Savile's alleged sexual abuse were made public for the first time by Surrey Police.
It was conducted by officers at Stoke Mandeville Hospital on October 1, 2009, about three separate allegations involving three girls.
The disgraced broadcaster was questioned about accusations of abuse at a children's home in Staines in Berkshire and at the hospital.
During the interview Savile revealed he routinely passed letters from people threatening him with blackmail over allegations of abuse to senior police officers.
He disclosed the nickname of one of the officers - whose name is redacted in the published transcript - and described the other as "an inspector".
"When you meet them socially where do you meet them?" he was asked.
Savile replied: "My place, yes, yeah the come round and drink tea and that."
