Former Police Commissioner Rear Admiral Hardley Lewin has accused the Government of crippling investigations into fatal police shootings by repeatedly delaying the full deployment of body-worn cameras during high-risk operations.
Lewin charged that the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) is routinely being left with little or no evidence to challenge police accounts after controversial fatal shootings.
“The witness have been removed, the man is dead, and yet we are expecting INDECOM to do the impossible. It cannot happen,” Lewin said. “What is happening now is that INDECOM is hamstrung.”
