Police commissioner ruled by politics

Read storyThe commissioner of police is not free from political influence, according to Bradley Sands, chairman of the Police Staff Association.

“If we want to be real in this society, the commissioner of police is under the rule of the thumb of the government of the day – whoever that government might be.”

Sands said he felt there should be term limits on the commissioner, supporting legislation under debate at the House of Assembly.

He also supported the bill’s proposal to create a Complaints unit made up of civilians.
