Need to Accelerate Disciplinary Proceedings in the Police
January 28, 2025
The Minister of Justice has sent a letter to the Police Chief urging the completion of all pending disciplinary cases by the end of 2025. It highlights that many processes are slow and have been pending since 2024 or even earlier. The disciplinary process does not hinder promotions of officers, provided there is a presumption of innocence. The aim is to ensure that disciplinary proceedings can continue even after officers leave the service.
