How easy will it be for the police authority to amend or change policy? Is the role of the Police authority to categorically not interfere in policy or is that a general inference?

Remember David Warcup he was able to interfere.

re the answers given by Ian Le Marquand to the Question about the Police Authority. What nonsense!

First, it is perfectly clear that if the Authority "monitors implementation" they cannot focus on EVERYTHING. Therefore they will select. Maybe they will take a particular interest in road safety and acciodent reduction, enforcement of speed limits, defective vehicles, and so on.

Or maybe they will take a close interest in the way the police tackle financial crime, how the police respond to SARs (Suspicious Activity reports); how they ensure that within the finance Industry all the relevant people sre constantly being made aware of their obligation to submit SARS when necessary and under what circumstances they should do so, etc.

So, of course, the Police Authority and especially its chairman, CHOOSE where to look. A conflicted chairman MIGHT choose to look well away from the financial crime area, and focus instead on road accidents, burglaries or violent assaults!

The other way that a conflict might express itself ios in the area of resources. The Police Authority is entitled to call for more resources for the police if they consider that to be necessary to fulfil the policies of the Minister.

Again, they can either quiz the Chief Officer of Police very carefully on whether he has enough staff to deal with financial crime - or not!

The Minister's answers were effectively saying: there cannot be a conflict because the nature of the Authority's work means that this conflict simply does not arise.

I have shown that it does.

Take a quick look at Planet Jersey forum today and see the list of most viewed topics listed by moderator Shrek. It points to the power of bloggers and the internet to document and question the oligarchy and state media propaganda. Never doubt the good work you bloggers do.
