Mr. Drew Harris:

Suspensions are a matter of last resort in the organisation. Every single one of those cases is considered very carefully. As I say, it is a matter of last resort, whether am individual member is suspended or not. These are under three-month review. If any new facts emerges, then they are under immediate review. It is a precautionary measure in terms of public confidence in the organisation but also in respect of the inquiry itself and the preservation of the integrity of that inquiry.

I reject the description of it being immoral but some individuals are facing very serious charges for conduct while off duty. There would be no prospect of them being in them workplace until these matters are resolved.

Regarding baton use and incapacitant spray, no directions whatsoever have issued from my office or the office of any other deputy commissioner or assistant commissioner in that regard.
