Home Affairs Minister Ian Le Marquand
JERSEY is to have its own Police Authority after States Members unanimously agreed to de-politicise the Island’s police force.
There was nothing but praise for Home Affairs Minister Ian Le Marquand in the Chamber yesterday as his proposal to establish the body as a buffer between his role and the States of Jersey Police was adopted unanimously.
It was particularly welcomed by Members who had expressed serious concerns about the conduct of some officers of the States of Jersey Police in recent years and was repeatedly described as a ‘step in the right direction’.
