WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER

BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. MARTIN

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 29th MARCH 2011

Question

On 29th March 2010 the Deputy Chief Executive wrote to the former Police Chief Officer inviting him to participate in the Review of the Suspension process for the Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police and included part (d) of the Terms of Reference, which was before it was later removed. Will the Chief Minister inform Members whether the Chief Police Officer was ever informed that part (d) had been removed, and if not why not?

Answer

The previous Chief Officer of Police was not informed that part (d) had been removed as the Chief Officer agreed to fully participate in the review being undertaken by Mr. Napier.

The reason part (d) was originally inserted was to enable Mr. Napier to have access to the Chief Officer's version of events regarding the suspension process via the Affidavit, had the Chief Officer decided not to participate. The Affidavit was already in the public domain.
