Civilian inquiries into police excesses being considered – Rohee

The introduction of civilian-based inquiries into allegations of police excesses is being considered, Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee announced on Thursday.

“Consideration will be given to initiate whenever deemed necessary civilian-based in-quiries into allegations of police indiscretions and excesses providing there is reasonable justification for so doing,” Rohee said at the Police Officers’ Annual Conference.

He said too that the Ministry of Home Affairs will consider new and innovative ways and means of creating “greater civilian oversight”
