The police have weighty responsibilities. If they fail to carry out their functions conscientiously and competently, innocent people may come to grave harm. They also have wide powers, including the use of force. The boundary between use of those powers for the public good, and their abuse by unscrupulous individuals, can never be too well guarded. It is obviously of the highest importance that the police discharge their duties and use their powers transparently, opening themselves up to public scrutiny wherever they can.
