Police Commissioner's rule reviewed
The roles and responsibilities of the Police Commissioner could be in for a tweaking.
"A discussion document" on a proposed revamp of the police legislation suggests the Commissioner's role and powers be clarified. It also recommends clear boundaries be set regarding the relationship between the Commissioner and the Minister of Police.

Other proposals include amending the Privacy Act for more information sharing, making it compulsory for people to supply ID to police when requested, and strengthening police powers for dealing with groups or crowds.
Policewatch: Dealing with groups or crowds
Patched Gangs ( mongrel mob > boy scouts including the Police themselves fill this category)
Teenage parties alledgedly out of Control?
Fathers Coalition protests outside homes of corrupt Judges and lawyers?
Anti - war peaceniks outside Te Papa?
Review spokesman Superintendent Hamish McArdle says the document attempts to write the independence of the police into law. It also suggests giving the Police Commissioner the power to convene formal inquiries into his or her organisation. Currently this is solely restricted to the Minister of Police.
Mr McArdle is urging the public to make their opinions on the review known.
Policewatch Hamish how do we make our opinion known?
