The role of Police Complaints Commissioner in the Isle of Man could be combined with another position if Tynwald backs new proposals from the Department of Home Affairs, next month.
The Minister, Martyn Quayle, has told members he will come back with a new way forward in April, after his original ideas were rejected last summer.
The department believes the Complaints Commissioner's role could be joined with that of the proposed Tynwald Commissioner for Administration, therefore ensuring a greater level of independence.
Mr Quayle (pictured) says ensuring effective investigation of complaints and maintaining independence is a difficult balance to strike, but he's confident the new proposals will achieve that aim:
MHK behind Assisted Dying Bill 'disappointed' by UK decision
Island needs dedicated department for tourism says MHK
Former Island resident Andy Kershaw dies
UK Government 'unable to recommend Assisted Dying Bill for Royal Assent' at this time
Member of staff at Peel Commissioners under external investigation
