Police Chief Robin Smith sat down with Express to discuss riots, knife crime and a host of other issues relating to public safety in light of new laws being proposed by the Home Affairs Minister.
Mr Smith has said he supports Deputy Helen Miles' attempt to overhaul the island's ageing public order legislation, which could be debated as early as 16 January.
Her proposition states that the current law is "outdated" and "does not cater for modern day offences".
It seeks to abolish and replace some customary law and statutory offences and create new ones, to help the police tackle a range of issues including incidents of affray and possession of an offensive weapon.
Express spoke to Mr Smith about the proposition and other public safety issues in the latest episode of Bailiwick Podcasts.
