The newly appointed National Police Commission (NPC) had decided to investigate 120 complaints lodged against police personnel serving in various police stations around the country.

Acting Secretary of the Commission, Ariyadasa Cooray said that most of the complaints were about the lethargic and biased actions of police personnel of various ranks

He also said that the complaints lodged at the provincial level would be investigate by the provincial offices of the Commission which had already been appointed. However, he stated that serious allegations would be investigated by their Colombo office.

If any allegation during the investigations was proved, disciplinary action would be taken against the officer in question and legal action taken where necessary

Complaints, if any, could be sent to the NPC office at Building No 9, BMICH Premises, Colombo 7 or to their Provincial offices, he further said. (Reka Tharangani Fonseka)

    GOOD. Most urgent need is to clean up the police force and instill discipline and a sense of service to the public. The police fore must win back the confidence and respect of the public.

    Clean up the current mess and restore the dignity of the Police service. Do not bow down to political interferences or pressure. All the best.

    Exactly, because the persons investigating are also ex-police officers.

    It is said that "new broom sweeps well". The public awaits to see the "dirt" gathered and the "disposal".

    We had a NPC in 2001 too but no work was done and I will take a bet even this too will have a lethargic attitude. If they are working the first thing they should do is if they are clean the Police give redress to Kondaya and 17 year boy for undue treatment.
