And on Monday we told you that the police department would be taking complaints from the public and lower ranking officers on how the top brass can improve their work. It's a pilot project entitled Rethinking Police Management, and today, the Minister explained that it's something that has never been done within the department.
Kareem Musa, Minister of Home Affairs
"It's a very important exercise that we're undertaking, one that has never been done before which is an overall assessment at every level of leadership and management in the police department. Many times we hear a lot of complaints but we don't take action on those complaints, and so this is a systematic approach at gathering that information not just from officers but also members of the public in getting the surveys completed, on getting the recommendations put forward of how it is we can better put in place these management controls that would better the efficiency of the police department and so it's really a structural attack that we're doing in terms of the policing within the different precincts and one that I think will yield very good results for the years to come."
