Members of the Independent Commission on Policing (ICP) will be invited to the forthcoming meeting of the peace panels of the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow.
Jun Mantawil, head of the MILF peace panel secretariat, told Luwaran before he flew to Manila enroute to Kuala Lumpur last September 6 that the MILF will also try to bring along them their nominees for ICP.
He confirmed that the MILF had already appointed their two representatives to the ICP, one a senior police officer and now retired and the other is a senior military commander of the MILF who served in the Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities (CCCH).
He said the members of the ICP shall be for the first time introduced to the parties before they start to work on the manner of organizing the Police for the Bangsamoro.
They will operate with a timeframe of six months and within this timeline they will have to make recommendations to the GPH and MILF peace panels, which will either adopt them altogether or make some amendments. After making their recommendations, they are deemed to have exited.
The parties agreed that Canada heads the ICP, which, in its letter to the two parties, did not accept the invitation but had actually named their nominee. Members of the ICP are Australia, another Asian countries, which is not yet named pending their formal acceptance of the offer from the MILF. Four more members, two each, come from the MILF and the GPH.
The nominee from Canada is reported to be an active police officer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
In Canada, public-sector police forces are associated with and commissioned to the three levels of government: municipal, provincial, and federal. Constitutionally, law enforcement is a provincial responsibility, and most urban areas have been given the authority by the provinces to maintain their own police force. Some, such as the Toronto Police Service and the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal are commissioned to one particular city, Toronto and Montréal, respectively, while the Niagara Regional Police services all cities comprising the Regional Municipality of Niagara. All but three of Canada's provinces in turn, contract out their provincial law-enforcement responsibilities to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the national police force, which is commissioned to the federal level of government.
