I wish to focus on the issue of the officers concerned acting outside of their jurisdiction. In his opening remarks, the Commissioner mentioned that disciplinary action had been taken in respect of a number of officers. He also has made reference to those files with the Director of Public Prosecutions. However, I was interested that he also stated that some note or notification had been sent. I will find the Commissioner's precise words, which were "written advices have been issued to a further number as to the necessity to conduct matters within policies and procedures". Can I surmise that it is those superintendents or inspectors to whom the Commissioner is referring?
