New Zealand First hopes
a review of the police complaints system will result in a crack down on
people who make false complaints. Police have confirmed
they are carrying out a project aimed at enhancing professionalism. The party's police
spokesman Ron Mark says the review must meet the needs of people who fell
they have been wronged, but he says it must also protect innocent police
officers. He says it is
unacceptable when complaints are found to be false after some officers' lives
are put on hold for nearly two years while a complaint is investigated. Mr Mark would like to
see an independent system where people making false claims would be charged
for wasting time and money. He believes that would ensure the system's
integrity is maintained and could cut down on time and money wasted on
spurious claims.
