Minister urges those with complaints to contact the
Police Commissioner Police Minister George Hawkins today
issued an invitation to all members of the public who have
concerns and complaints about specific emergency 111 issues
to contact the Police Commissioner.
"It is clear that the
recent focus on the 111 system has revealed a number of
incidents which warrant further scrutiny. The best way for
this to happen is for people to put in a written description
of what they believe happened to the Commissioner
personally.
I am confident the Commissioner will refer
complaints to the independent Communications Centre Review
Panel where the incidents disclose less than satisfactory
performance on the part of the police. I anticipate they
will be dealt with promptly" concluded the Minister.
The
Police Commissioner's contact details are:
P O Box 3017
