CoP finally answers leaked email on request to conceal & destroy evidence
Destroy evidence- Mark Collins
The email by the Commissioner concerned the arrest and charging of an Inspector and Mr Collins was updating Mr Amory on the case. The CoP said that he had a discussion with the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) and the arrest matter had been discontinued.
In his email, he noted that there were “some issues with the arrest and process” and there “maybe video footage of the incident which would not have been used in evidence and should be destroyed”.
According to law, it’s a crime to destroy evidence.
However, it’s our newsroom’s understanding that the case has not been discontinued and the officer, now retired, was in court this month.
Mr Collins in his email stated that “to date this footage has not been in the public domain and it should not be disclosed”.
He also noted that if the video footage was released in the public domain, “there will be a PSD [Professional Standards Department] investigation.” Mr Collins stated in the same email that, “I am not aware who is in possession of such material but as Acting Dep and Officer in the case at the time I am seeking your support.”
Internal matter- Collins
Today, Thursday, October 12, 2023, at a press conference with his boss Governor John J. Rankin, CMG and Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7), Mr Collins claimed that it was “an internal matter” and that he has “nothing to hide.” He said it was a matter between "two officers and I am aware of the leaked email."
"I will be very clear, it was not evidence related to a particular case. It was between two individual officers, one who threatened to release something about another officer, and I told him not to do it and if he did do it there would be an investigation."
The public; however, still remains confused about Collins' answer today and whether a police commissioner was advocating the concealing and destroying of evidence, even if this evidence will not be used in a court matter.
It was in June 2022, when Mr Collins came under fire from the public after he released what many described as a racist and disturbing video of the Territory where it was depicted as a crime-infested jurisdiction and a narco-state. He claimed the video was a recruiting tool; however, he faced no sanctions as his pal Governor Rankin told the media he pardoned him and accepted his apology.
