Jamaica
Almost 40 employees of the Police Public Complaints Authority now face an uncertain future with the introduction of the Independent Commission of Investigations Act.
The new Act has repealed the Police Public Complaints Act effectively ending the life of the 17 year old civilian body which was established to probe allegations against member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
The staff at the authority is yet to be told what will happen to them.
The 36 employees of the authority are based in New Kingston and Montego Bay, St James.
Derrick Dixon, an investigator at the Police Public Complaints Authority said he is not sure what will now happen to the cases that are being investigated.
Up to news time, we were unable to reach the chairman of the Authority, former chief justice Lensley Wolfe.
Yesterday, Terrence Williams was sworn in to head the new civilian body to probe allegations against members of the security forces.
