The Minister for Justice and Home Affairs, Deputy Mary Le Hegarat, is proposing to repeal and replace outdated provisions governing police complaints and disciplinary procedures.
If approved, the proposition will introduce new police complaints regulations with contemporary standards and modernised processes that enhance transparency, accountability, and public confidence in the handling of police conduct and complaints.

Here's Jean Sullivan's poetic description in #Jèrriais of the Queen's visit in 1846 members.societe-jersiaise.or…
On this day (2 September) in 1846 Queen Victoria visited the Island, alongside Prince Albert, marking the first State Visit by a Monarch to the Island.
They arrived in the Island at 6.30pm and were greeted by the Lieutenant-Governor’s sister and a Guard of Honour.
In St. Helier, seating for 6,000 spectators was set-up and Elizabeth castle was illuminated. The following day, Her Majesty had a tour of the capital before visiting Mont Orgueil. Prince Albert spent time sketching Corbière, Noirmont Point and and St. Brelade's Bay.
The visit was so significant it prompted the building of @victoriacollege to commemorate the occasion.
The Royal Party departed for Falmouth at 8am on the 4th September.

Just over 100 years ago British women aged 30 and over, were officially allowed to stand for election as a Deputy in the States Assembly.
However, while the story of the road to election as a Deputy for women has been well-recorded, did you know that the oldest role - that of Constable - was the last to have a woman elected and there have been just six women leading our Parishes to date.
