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.
