COMMISSIONER OF POLICE DISMISSES FALSE REPORTS

It is with deep dismay that Commissioner of Police, Ian M. Queeley, moves to dismiss false claims that he was present during an incident in which a young man was assaulted. The
information in question alleges that an individual was assaulted in the presence of the Commissioner of Police at the White Sands event on Sunday, July 01. The allegation goes
further, and implies that the Commissioner was among others who offered no assistance when it occurred. This information is false and contradicts the facts as presented to the Police.
