Mr. Drew Harris:

First, any document I provide for the Policing Authority is a finished document, not a draft. As such, the Policing Authority is subject to the Freedom of Information Act. I have a difficulty in providing information for the authority that could directly impact on a victim.

Second, the disciplinary process is different. I cannot talk about potential disciplinary processes. Whenever we get through them, I can talk about them in retrospect because decisions will have been made and actions taken.

In terms of the document I have, we are in the very early days. A great deal of work has been given to divisional officers in dealing not only with members but also, more importantly, victims. The initial concentration has been on victims. Some divisional officers potentially are dealing with many hundreds of victims, on whom they are concentrating.

I can discuss disciplinary processes in retrospect but not at this stage. I am always careful about giving information that inadvertently identifies either victims or potential perpetrators.
