From , 4:04 pm on 23 February 2017

Samoa's troubled police force is to face another overhaul.

This comes after 265 criminal charges brought against the suspended commissioner, Fuiavailili Egon Keil, were dismissed by the court this week.

Our correspondent in Apia, Autagavaia Tipi Autagavaia, told Don Wiseman that plans to scrap the four assistant commissioner positions will take the force back to its previous structure.
