    "content": "As of now, the police service has three main components. I think it hinders their work if there is no proper coordination. We have the Commission, the police service, the service itself and the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA). If you look at the service itself, again you have the general police and the administration police. Many times, you actually see that there is no very clear coordination among these components. As much as they are necessary, there is need for clear coordination and clear definition of functions. Members have talked of the issue of illegal conduct of police, extrajudicial killings and illegal detention of people. Again, you tend to wonder whose authority this falls under because if you have the IPOA, you have the service unit, which has its own regulations, and you have the commission, then things can fall in between the net. That is something we need to look at."
