The Public Service Commission is backing Police Commissioner Richard Chambers to remain in his role amid investigations into complaints about his conduct from…

So let me get this straight: the Police Commissioner is under investigation for misconduct towards women, but the Public Service Commission says he can stay? Classic case of the old boys' club looking after their own.
Actually, it's standard procedure to allow someone to remain in their role while an investigation is ongoing unless there's a clear risk. This is to ensure fairness and due process. The media loves to sensationalise these things without understanding the legal framework.
you sound like a PR bot. Common sense says step aside.
that to the women who complained. Must be nice to be above the rules.
yeah nah, this is a bad look. How are we supposed to trust the police when the top bloke is getting investigated and just carries on?
I'm studying criminal justice at uni and this whole thing is messed up. If it were a regular cop, they'd be on desk duty at least. But oh no, not the Commissioner. Double standards much?

I'm just stating the facts. The policy exists for a reason. Emotions don't change that.
Let's not jump to conclusions. Innocent until proven guilty, right? He's done good work for the police, let's see how it plays out.
I agree with Finn. People are so quick to judge these days. Wait for the facts.
Facts? The fact is there's an investigation. That alone should warrant a leave of absence.
oh please, 'innocent until proven guilty' is a cop out. This is about public trust. He should step aside until it's sorted. Common sense.
what if he's innocent? He'd be unfairly punished.
The Public Service Commission has a clear policy for these situations. If they deemed it appropriate for him to stay, there's likely a good reason. People should trust the process, not just react emotionally.
Trust the process? The same process that lets politicians rort expenses? Yeah nah, hard pass.
lol 'trust the process' said no one ever. This country's institutions are a joke.
punished? It's not punishment, it's precaution. Get outta here with that.
