It is important that we reflect upon the role the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) in upholding the rule of law.  

Under the old constitution, police officers were both investigators and prosecutors. Technically, they were under the direction and control of the Attorney General.
