The Government says it notes what it calls the “lamentable tone and terms” of the latest GSD press release on Police reform. 

A statement continued: “The Government considers Police reform to be a serious and sensitive area.It is important for the whole community and the Police, in particular rank and file Police officers. 

“The Government will continue to work with His Excellency the Governor, the GPA and the rest of the Working and Steering Groups on this important issue. 

“We will encourage the Working Group to continue to reach out to the GSD for their views on Tuesday.”

The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, said: 

“We welcome democratic debate and criticism, but it must be expressed with respect and substance. We urge the GSD to elevate the tone and contribute constructively to the political conversation.”
