Secretary for Security Wong Sio Chak said yesterday that the government-appointed Macau Public Security Forces Discipline Supervision Committee will be granted more powers later this year.
Wong made the remarks while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a plaque-unveiling ceremony that marked the official opening of the fire station on the man-made island for the Macau checkpoint of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (HZMB).
Wong told lawmakers during plenary sessions of the legislature last year that he was open-minded about whether the committee should be granted more powers, such as investigative powers for certain cases or complaints against law enforcement officers filed by residents.
