Answer
Following discussion with the Emergency Planning Liaison Officer the Comité des Connétable s agreed in May 2004 to disband the Parish Civil Emergency Liaison Officers as the Parish emergency procedures are based upon the Honorary Police service. All Parishes have now disbanded the role.
The Parish of St Helier retains a group of volunteers who form the Parish of St Helier Support Team. This team operates under the leadership of the officer who was formerly the St Helier Parish Civil Emergency Liaison Officer and who is also a member of the St Helier Honorary Police. The St Helier Support Team provides back-up support for various activities and events within the Parish including events such as closure of roads, first aid for public functions, dealing with casualties, etc.
