I thank Mr. Priestley for that. Head 23 states that an officer under investigation or charged before a civil court shall, as soon as practicable, inform his or her commanding officer of the investigation. I imagine if someone is under investigation and is due to appear in court on a particular date, that would be stressful on any member. It may affect his or her performance. Is it not actually to the benefit of a member to inform the commanding officer as soon as possible? Is that something that would be beneficial?
