Future procedure

The Special Police Support Group will continue its work in the forthcoming months, and will coordinate and direct the action to be taken on the recommendations and formulate the programme imple- mentation. Additonal impetus will be given to the work as the re- organisation of Police Headquarters which has already been approved (see paragraph 8 above) takes place, and as the officers to be recruited assume their posts.
