北爱尔兰警察监察员寻求更快的不当行为程序,以减少惩戒警官的拖延。 Northern Ireland's Police Ombudsman seeks faster misconduct procedures to reduce delays in disciplining officers.

北爱尔兰警察监察员在一个案件经过四年多时间才以不当行为解雇一名警官之后,正在推动立法改革。 The Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland is pushing for legislative changes after a case where it took over four years to dismiss a police officer for misconduct. 办公室的首席执行官Hugh Hume认为,现行制度对犯罪或严重不当行为案件缺乏快速程序,造成“无法接受的延误”。 Hugh Hume, the office's CEO, argues the current system lacks a fast-track procedure for cases of criminality or gross misconduct, causing "unacceptable delays." 拟议的修改将允许在刑事程序之前进行不当行为诉讼,从而有可能缩短警官在受限制职务上花费的时间。 The proposed changes would allow misconduct proceedings before criminal ones, potentially shortening the time officers spend on restricted duties.
