WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS BY DEPUTY T.M. PITMAN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 31st JANUARY 2012
Question
Further to his answer to my written question 6643 of January 17th 2012 (relating to how much money had been spent on external inquiries and reviews of alleged police disciplinary issues since November 2008), would the Minister confirm whether the figures stipulated (amounting to £894,394) indicate the total, complete cost to the Island's taxpayers of aspects relating to these inquires and, if not, will the Minister accordingly provide full details of any additional sums?
Answer
The answer to written question 6643 related to the cost of external inquiries and reviews as requested. It did not include the salary costs, including acting up costs, in relation to suspended officers.
Of the four enquiries detailed in the first section of my response only one incurred internal costs including acting up' cover and legal costs. The total cost to the States of Jersey Police of the 2008 enquiry by Thames Valley Police was £344,448, as indicated in my answer to Senator Breckon on 9 March 2010.
With regard to the Wiltshire Constabulary investigations, I would refer the Deputy to the answer I gave to his written question on 19 July 2010 which stated that the internal costs of `acting up' cover for the absence of the Chief Officer of Police were £234,854, thus bringing the total costs in relation thereto to £1,103,094.
This brings the total costs relating to all relevant matters to £1,467,626.
In addition to this there will have been some costs relating to local officers but these would have come out of the normal staff budget.
