Misconduct dismissal rate

Date asked:
Board Member:Nuala McAllister
Question type:Oral

Question

The misconduct dismissal rate in PSNI has risen from 54% to 79% in a year.  The report attributes this to increased reporting rather than worsening conduct.  What gives PSNI the confidence that this is the case and how to you distinguish a rise in serious misconduct from simply catching more of what was already there?  Also, do you support a change in legislation to allow PONI to fast track cases and reduce costs by doing so?
