\u201cThe force has assured us that measures are being looked at and being put in place as we speak to address these concerns and these issues, and both myself and our Detectives Lead DC Christian Borum have been invited to discuss these developments with the force,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see this as a positive step, and hopefully, some of these issues will be resolved in the not too distant future.\u201d<\/p>\n
