A further call is being made for an independent police complaints process.
Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Kirrie Jenkins has tabled a written Tynwald question for answer by Justice Minister Jane Poole-Wilson, asking “what, if any, plans to revise the police complaints investigation process there are”.
Douglas East MHK Joney Faragher is due to ask an oral question on the same issue at the Tynwald sitting on Tuesday (November 17).
Earlier this year Poole-Wilson told Tynwald the Chief Constable retained full responsibility for managing how police conduct complaints were handled.
Responding to a written question from Jason Moorhouse MHK, the minister said the Police Complaints Commissioner provided independent oversight to ensure complaints were “properly considered and handled within the statutory framework” but did not oversee the management of the process itself.
Poole-Wilson will answer Faragher’s question on November 17 and has until November 25 to respond to Jenkins’ question.
