drawn from a pool of Justices of the Peace. The Police
Complaints Committee would no longer be a UMELCO body and its
Secretariat would operate to all intents and purposes as separate department. Members of the Committee would continue to be appointed by your Excellency while the Attorney General
would, as in the UMELCO Police Group, be the only official
representative on the Committee. Concurrent with the
establishment of the new Police Complaints Committee, new monitoring procedures have been introduced.
I would like to thank the Commissioner of Police and
all officers in the Complaints and Internal Investigation
Branch for their co-operation and assistance rendered to the old Group and the new Committee. I would also like to express my appreciation for the contribution and support by all Members, past and present.
