Former Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mark Shields, is welcoming the merger of the Major Organized Crime and Anti-Corruption Taskforce and the police Anti-Corruption Branch, ACB.
Yesterday National Security Minister Peter Bunting announced that the merged units, which will retain the acronym MOCA, would facilitate the creation of a super law enforcement agency.
Mr. Shields says the move is a step in the right direction.
Minister Bunting says MOCA will be independent in operational matters.
However the agency will report to the National Security Council, via the Security Minister, on policy matters.
The agency will not report to the Police Commissioner.
Mr. Shields says he doesn’t have a problem with the reporting mechanism of the agency.
